I am thinking of either getting the Gainward 1200xp Golden Sample FX5900

Make sure that the MSI FX5900 will physically fit in your system !!
If I recall correctly, it has a large fan on the rear that might
interfere with the Northbridge or other MB components, particularly
if 3rd-party cooling devices have been added...........

ANyone have any recommendations?

I've read the Gainward in one review could reach 498/900 speeds, and the MSI
could reach 500/1000.
Funny since the Gainward are labelled "Golden Sample" you would think they
would clock higher
