I'm going to be building a new PC from scratch this weekend or so. I
am planning on buying an AMD Opteron 165 with an Asus A8N-SLI
motherboard. I have never overclocked a cpu, memory, or gpu. I would
like advice on anything and everything anyone would happen to know
about. Is the A8N-SLI a good motherboard for overclocking? I chose it
because its only $110, and I built a system a month or so ago with an
A8N-SLI Deluxe and it went flawlessly, but no over clocking. Also, is
the 165 going to work and act just like a Athlon 64? I have read an
article or two on it and its overclocking abilities. Also, do I
overclock using a piece of software, or through the bios? If software,
what is the best, free software available? Any Info would be much
appreciated.
