Which upgrade would give me a higher performance boost?

[demonized]

I still havent bought the corsair memory i was suppose to buy last week. the reason would be, while searching for a canadian online retailer i found site that has a retail store 10min away from my house:) Anyways, they somehow have the epox nforce2 mobo in stock. My question is which upgrade would give me a higher performance boost? Should i get that nforce2 and try to overclock a little more or get the corsair 256mb 3500cpt and try to push the memory to the max?

with the epox board you shold be able to overclock to a 200mhz bus.

The board will perform better with 2 ram sticks but even with just 1 it should rock.

if you dont mind doing vmods, than the ram would be a better route

if not, than go with the epox 8rda+ nforce2 board

[gokickrocks]

actually now that i think about it, go with the epox

what did you mean by doing voltage mods?

[gokickrocks]

attach the correct resistors to the voltage regulators and give the vcore and the vmem more voltage to oc higher...assuming your board is the bottleneck and not your ram
