Hrmmmm, how come i've never heard of Aroia? I searched at google, foudn nothing, i searched at newegg, found nothing... Can someone fill me in? I would think it was an Athlon, but an oveclocked athlon will never be 40C full load. :/

AROIA is the stepping of the chip. 2100 XP's have this stepping. They are good overclocking chips. !.8 gig is pretty easy to get with the 1600+ which is a 1.4 Gig chip. Some have got as high as 2 gigs with it.
And never say never cause i know a few water cooling setups that are running 35C full load with 1600+
s at 2 gig

Hear what you're saying about ramsinks but I just got some Thermaltake memory cooling sinks and they might not make the slightest bit of difference in the performance stakes but man - THEY LOOK SO GOOD.

I might be wrong but ain't that what the whole overclocking/case modding thing is all about....? Eye candy! And cool CPUs!!

IMHO of course!!

Cheers!

Yeah the heatspreaders or heatsinks for ram does make it look cool i won't argue that. To be honest i think that is about all it really does is make it look cool
