Don't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to game.
btw, what brand of RAM?

you can game on that system no problem. up your FSB to 200MHz so you can make the most of that memory. 8RDa+ is an excellent board. im a former owner of one. raise your FSB to 200MHz, set CPU interface to "on". let me know your memory brand/speed please, then i can tell you how to tune that. setting CPU interface to on descreases the latency between the CPU, RAM, and chipset, resulting in hgiher performance.

A lot of times CPU interface can cause problems though, beware

you can AMD asynchronus. i wouldnt reccommend running it that way though, you take a big performance hit. always try to run your memory at 1:1.

its quite easy, you just set the RAM frequency to 120% of the FSB. By far the better option is to bump the FSB to 200Mhz though.
