Please forgive my stupid questions but I need help.
I am upgrading my ECS P4VMM motherboard and Intel p4 1.6
processor and going with the AMD 2500+ and the Biostar M7NCD
PRO
motherboard, I do not have a video card to use so I need one
that is
reasonable in price, I dont do games but I do a little video
editing
from camcorder to pc but nothing major.
I dont know if the video card has anything to do with
overclocking so
I thought I better check before I order something I wont be
able to
use. One person recommended the matrox G550 but I found a
couple of
posts saying they had problems getting the card to work in the
M7NCD
PRO, plus that's more than I wanted to pay for a card.
Also I have two pc2100 256 sticks I would like to use in the
above
configuration, will using this memory slow down the new system
drastically? Will it prevent me from being able to overclock?

Thanks
Tim

The M7NCD-Pro is a very good bargain overclocking board. I'd
suggest a midrange vid card in the Ati- nVidia lineup that fits
your budget. The bios allows you to lock the agp at 66MHz. The
ram will definately be your bottleneck but if you have some good
sticks and relax the timings you may reach 166fsb.
