I can vouch 100% for OCZ, it is the best memory I have personally ever used. Now, before you people flame me, that doesn't mean i'm saying it is the best memory ever concieved, but it is good.

Well, if all you are worried about is a database then Xenon or Opteron might be the way to go. that is, after all, what server processors are built for.

Ok, well, it costs $369, a little over what you said, but form what I've been talking about in the FX-60 vs. 4800+ thread you could make a 4800+ into a mutant of sorts. OC it 400 MHz and you get the single core speed of an FX-57 and 200 MHz faster than the FX-60. You would also be approaching...

Hmmm, so, overclocking a 4800+ 400 MHz, a generally easy number, would yield a pretty serious beast. FX-57 speeds with 2 cores. The wheels are turning, especially after this price drop.

You could always get a wall transformer and run it off one of those.

No, overclocking does not severly shorten the life of your components. This is a pretty good explaination. But about the HT, that is the multiplier. Your standard FSB will be multipled by the highest setting (mine is x5) to get 1000 MHz. When you overclock you will have to lower this as the HT...

Low latencies will not damage your RAM, you just have to reset them if they don't work. When OCing permanent damage is rare. If you RAM can't handle the speed it usually won't work at all.
