And you need very good RAM to aid your overclocking. That motherboard is intended at extreme overclockers, who would spend anything to get that extra 1 frame per second performance gain in their favourite games. If you buy that motherboard, you better be buying at least a 2.4GHz Core2Duo, 2GB DDR2-1066, at least a Geforce8800GTS. Otherwise, it's no point.And do you know how much that motherboard will be? It's gonna retail at around US$350 and in Sri Lanka, you'll have to pay at least Rs.50,000!!!! Go buy a video card <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" />The best overclocking motherboard you can buy in Sri Lanka is the Gigabyte DS3 or DS4 or DQ6. DS3 has only one PCI-E x16 slot. Other two has 2 for ATI CrossFire. Sure, nForce 680i chipset will reach 2GHz+ FSB, but DS3 can reach 2GHz too. AS I said before, it all comes down to the CPU's capabilities and the RAM. If you have DDR2-800, you can only go to 1.6GHz FSB with 2x multiplier, even with that Striker motherboard. For all those huge FSBs, you will have to spend Rs.20,000+ for 1GB RAM and an after market cooler, a good power supply with ~600W etc. Go dream yourself, or invest on that video card. You already have a PCI-E slot no? Why ditch that motherboard for an extra 10% CPU power?</blockquote>
