It's sold none the less now. The buyer was a friends ebay account. I had him max bid it to 200 because I think that it should of reached at least that amount. I do believe this is against ebay policy, but reserves jack up listing prices like crazy. I pretty much don't care at the moment because ebay has become CRAZY PARANOID with security recently it's ridiculous. I prob will be looking for an alternate site to allow me to list my items on online auction. But thats besides the point. Getting back to the topic at hand... The guy who was the 2nd highest though took the offer (rightfully so since it's an entire rig without a vid card for 200 bucks....you'd be crazy to say no)
Anyways, i'm still pissed that it didn't go higher..and I'm not really sure why it didn't either. So now I'm debating the am2 rig to buy.
I was thinking a asus m2n mobo with a amd 4400+ 65nm and 1gb of OCZ mem. Here's links

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16819103776**My debate at the moment is how well will the 4400+ OC for me. I prob will end up trying to OC it to 3ghz...but I haven't found any reviews with the 4400 and showing how well of a cpu it is for OC. I mean if I buy a 3800, I know they can hit 3.2 easily, so I'm not sure why a cpu with 2.3 couldn't hit 3.2 as well. I did read some guy got the 2.3 to 2.9 without even overvolting, so no doubt it should go past 3 which is my intentions. Plus that OCZ mem has headway up to 1ghz past (was originally going with 2gb of crucial ballistixs, but since the prices changed, I had to rethink it). Long as everything goes as planed...I should be able to downgrade to 677 and boost my fsb to hit 3ghz mark at around ddr900. My other option is to spend 15 more dollars and go with a 5200. It's at 2.6 speeds but it's 90nm. I would assume that it would OC to 3ghz (only a 400mhz oc) but i'm just not sure at the moment.
Let me know if you have any thoughts or suggestions on the matter....thanks
