I've been working on this machine for a few months. I've tried a few different CPUs and found that it's best to stick to 800 MT/s FSB if you want the board to work really well.
The goal with this build is to have the fastest AGP setup possible for experimentation and for making goofy Youtube videos (as I've done with the GeForce 5900 Ultra and Radeon 8500).
ASRock 775i65G (865G AGP SATA) (BIOS 3.2+ for Wolfdale)
Pentium Dual Core E5700 3.0 GHz (Wolfdale-2M, 800 MT/s FSB)
Scythe Ninja Plus CPU cooler (:D Wolfdale barely heats this up even without a fan)
2GB PC3200 CAS 2.5 (must be CL2.5)
640GB WD + 160GB WD
Audigy Platinum
Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB
Intel Pro 1000GT NIC
Random DVDROM
600W OCZ Gamexstream
Gateway P4 Willamette case
This board works perfectly with my OCZ Vertex 2 SSD too, but I wanted to use that drive elsewhere.
