Time to tear something up....

Okay, I am going to stress the new Celeron and Pentium Dual-core, to be exact the Celeron 430 Conroe-L and Pentium Dual-core E2160 Allendale. I am basing these on a P35-DS3L, which is a basic version of the DS3R. I am gonna need some good RAM, something that will let these go as far as they can. I am gonna overclock and stress them, trying to see if I can get them to perform as good as a similar model. Now, cooling, I am thinking water-cooling, a cheap kit, check out the one linked below. So I just need suggestions on RAM and water cooling.

What do you think about using this 7600GT?

I would Go

Windows Server 2003

I am Running Enterprise Edition, it has every feature you will ever need.

All im using of it, Is:

DHCP
Print Server
File Server
CSS Server
Storage
Downloading Too.

Simple.

Really Effective tho.
 
Servers....
then overclocking is the last thing you want to do, think stability. Also thing about what severs you will be setting up. Unless your going to running loads of users across it i cant see how overclocking will help.

I could do all those taks fine with an unclocked celeron d
(and i do....minus the CSS server)

I really don't care if one goes down, at that kinda price, I would just pop another one in. If they survive the OC'ing then they go into the servers...

I am just gonna use XP Home on them and Ubuntu with Apache for another... The Ubuntu will be my hosting server, how did you guess? The E2160 and 430 will be my new CS:S servers and I will retire the old P4 server to just a Ubuntu web host.
 
Where do you have all this money lying around? Don't you have better things to use it for? ;). Sounds fun, though.

The last time I devoted money to screwing around with something is when I built this new one.... I am getting pretty bored, I just want to play around with something new... College and my job have started with a bang and a real kick in the butt, so I have to find some way to get away from that fact.
 
why dont you focus you time of something more construtive rather than just burnig out cpus for the fun of it. :)

I am doing something constructive, seeing and noting how far a CPU will go. I will be lapping them and testing them with my own water cooling contraption.....:D
