I'm planning on building a system using an overclocked Barton core 2500+
Athlon saddled up on a nForce2-based motherboard with integrated Geforce 4
MX graphics. I'm not too concerned about the ordinary nature of the graphic
capabilities, but I am concerned by a rumour a friend told me about how
using onboard graphics will limit my memory speeds to PC2700 (DDR333). I
assume this will also compromise my capacity to overclock the cpu.
He pointed me to the article at
http://arstechnica.com/guides/buyer/system-guide-200411.ars/2 referring
particularly to the section on RAM. I was considering the Abit NF7-M
(http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/products.php?categories=1&model=7) but
will have to rethink if it's subject to this limitation.
Anyone know if there's any truth to this story, or of any motherboards with
decent onboard video (no seriously) which can run memory and fsb beyond
DDR333 speeds?
All insights appreciated.
