no the abit technical help line said to put my core voltage up by one step and i did and the proccers clock when up by 0.06

but i can assure you it is the 800fsb version, hey it says so on the box and when you start up the pc

Abit tech hu lolo. They gave you the wrong instructions. Dont want to up the V-core, should have stepped up the fsb. V-core is overvolting and could cause heatups esp. on a prescott. But the 3.06 northwood was one of the best overclocking cpu's once they gave it the prescot core it went down due to HEat

not to worry she is perfectly cool, 45 at max load. Also 3.06 was my bad, that was the reading of the cpu before the ram was placed in the correct slots, now it is running at it's correct speed.

Is this a good deal?

I can buy in a local store a PC with following specs:

I want my PC quiet as possible, and according to the offer this should be the case.

I'm using teh PC mainly for running several virtual machines at the same time and one in a while for gaming. Is this worth the upgrade?

I also need to have much more RAM which type should I buy?

Thanks for any response.

I'd buy it for that price (and then upgrade the GFX card) - looks good.

Looks good but what kind of ram? And I would always buy 2 seperate Hard drives (unless you already have one or two)

That I dont know,

It's 2x 512 DDR 400 Mhz. but I have no idea what the timings are or what brand the mem is.
Since I want to upgrade the ram with 2x 1gb extra I'm gonna chack that out when I recieve my new toy tomorrow.
I will aslo recieve following for "free" with the PC: A wireless keyboard + mouse, 54Mbit Wlan stick, Bluetooth Stick, headset, TV tuner & webcam.
