    I need it from Canada Computers or Tiger Direct Canada, I'm Canadian, so the price is Canadian, and newegg doesn't ship to Canada...

    Ah ok. Sorry about that. Just saw the price of the RAM and noticed it was only 1GB.

    for the ram, just get the cheapest DDR2-800 set there is. simple as that. latencies don't affect performance on intel setups that much and DDR2-800sdram should give you plenty of headroom to hit 4.0GHz and a bit higher... if worst comes to worst, just use DDR2-667 and go loose on the latencies and high on the voltage if needed

    also, any board which supports standard PDs and has a scaleable FSB should be fine for OCing the 805(805 runs on a lower FSB than the others), don't even bother with an SLi board if it costs...

    I'd find specific links but on my current system, it is a chore(on an old backup systemuntil I build a conroe system)

    he lives in canada. newegg links do not help him

    second time that has been mentioned in this thread.

    for your power supply, you will at least need 500 W.

    the pentium d 805 overclocked to around 4.0 Ghz. that would use as much as 200 watts. it will kill the lifetime of the processor.

    if you're overclocking that pentium d to around or past 3.5 Ghz, you will want/need at least 500 Watt (4.0 Ghz pentium d 805's have been show using 200 watts of power. not leaving you with much more for your other components.)
