My advise is get a "300"A for starters. The 333 is clock locked at 5X and will only
allow OCing to 415mhz (5 X 83) Even with good cooling it is unlikely that running it a 5 X
100/500 mhz would be successful. Maybe someone here could enlighten us? The 300A is clock
locked at 4.5 and clocks to 4.5 X 100FSB = 450 mhz very nicely. Also, if you like long
replays then 128 megs of ram seems necessary. Hopefully there is something wrong with the
way GPL is currently saving replays and 64 might turn out to be ok if we get a fix/patch.
