Nah can get mobo, case and cpu cooler for around 100-120 quid easily.

i know but the thing is i wouldn't want the cheap stuff, i looked at this before

thanks myth, don't go out of way though!
I don't have enough cash to buy a new processor at the moment anyway!
Just that i thought it might be a good next upgrade!
I've been meaning to try it any way! I'll let you know how the chipset does, and how it handels the 3GHz proc!Originally Posted by ben_wade
is the 3Ghz an 800FSB?
Yep! Its a D1.. 30 caper!Originally Posted by ben_wade
Edit: look at my sig, its now a 1GHz FSB!!!!!!
Just remembered this thread!
Myth, did you get a chance to try out the 800FSB in the 533FSB Board?
Thanks
Ben
lol... this thread is very old! I forgot all about it! It worked better at 400Mhz! 533 did not want to work, but I could force it in bios by manualy setting the fsb! All in all the chipset performed poorly with my 3Ghz C chip... The lack oh HT and dual chanel realy hurt!
A 3.2GHz proc on a 533mhz FSB motherbaord would run at 2128mhz... lol
I don't mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am so that's the way it comes out.
Yeah, Intel processors always have locked multipliers (unless you have an Engineering Sample chip, or a Xeon). The 845 should lock the PCI/AGP bus so it can often be overclocked to 200FSB or more (E.G. Abit BH7) but I doubt that'd be an option on a Dell motherboard, although it might be possible with a software OCing program.
If you want a drop in upgrade for the computer get a 533FSB P4 secondhand, or alternatively a Celeron D of some description- they're much better than the old Celerons.
Rich :¬)
Thanks, i won't bother if i can't pop in a 3.2 or similar!
I'll just wait a while and get a A64+Mobo with the new socket when i can afford it
