Hiyas all. I'm currently in the process of building my new PC when I find out the store I ordered my G400 MAX from was lying to me when they said they had it in stock (the guy who told me that had since been fired and they apologized profusely BTW). My order is still in existence, but I'm losing time by waiting and waiting. See, everything is supposed to arrive on Monday. I don't have a video card. Thus, new PC ain't exactly tested thoroughly until I have the video card which I was hoping very much to be a G400 MAX.
I just don't know if I can wait that long. School starts up on the 27th and I'll be in the apartment by the next day, so....
The idea came up somehow to just buy a regular G400, add a fan of sorts on top of the chip, and overclock it to G400 MAX speeds. By doing that, would that basically make my G400 a G400 MAX in every aspect but name? Are there any differences between the two retail software bundles? I can get my hands on a regular G400 easily, but I want the MAX performance. Decisions, decisions.
So how about some thoughts on this matter. And if you like the idea, anyone know of an easy-to-install fan gor the G400?

P.S. Neither the G400 nor the MAX would have a problem on a P3-450 OC'ed to 558, would they? Should be able to handle the bus speed...?
