I'd sell it and buy a better mobo for that Barton.. :devil win

Looks like a slick system. But I woudl have to agree that you could have gone with a better MoBo, was that one from an older machine?

There is a ton of threads in the video card forum about OCing those ATis. Nice choice on the Asus. Heres a nice little thread for ya. http://forums.tweaktown.com/showthre...threadid=15701
I would go with ATis Catalyst drivers instead of the ones that came with the Asus board, mainly becuase those are likely older.

As well, here is a guide to AMD OverClocking. Its a little old now, but most it remains the same. http://www.tweaktown.com/document.ph...review&dId=376
