I've had my rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishty old 1.4 athlon for 2 yrs now, and its starting to show its age, so i feel its time for an upgrade.
Prob gonna get the abit nf7-s mobo, as it seems 2b the best around atm, but i dno wat CPU 2 get
Any suggestions? I think the 1700+ lks gd value for money, especially seeing as friends have oc it to ova 2ghz
Are there better processors for that amount of money?
not for that money....
The 1700+ JUIHB DLT3C is the one to look for though.... cpucity.co.uk let you specify the core that you get and will be able to buy one of these... unfortunalty i hear that they are currently out of stock....
If you want the most for your money, these are the chips to get!
EDIT: you can still order them and they will be shiped to you when stock is avail i belive

get a barton 3000+ ... lol ok maybe not
im running a barton 2500+ at 2.2 ghz no real heat probs. can clock up more than that, but my fsb doesnt like anything more than 180...
get the 1700+ and brag about how much u clocked it... not as a chatup line tho x-)
Yea i checked that site earlier and they are out of stock atm
I'll look into ordering now and waiting...dno if i can be that patient tho
I dont think they would take the order off your habds if the shipment was far off..... did you order the mobo as well ?Originally posted by Sibu

Also as another question, what ram are you/do you plan to use in this setup? it can and probably will make the difference of getting a good overclock or not...
chatup line worked for me anywaysOriginally posted by gilgamesj

atm i only got rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishty old ddr ram...i think its 133. But i'll upgrade to 3200 eventually
My 2 year old 133/266 DDR crucial does 166 at cas2.5 enabling me to almost get 2.1Ghz out of a 1700+ on an NForce2.
My 2400XP hasnt let me down yet, saying that Ive only had it installed for two days...
Heh should be a reliable chipOriginally posted by THCi
My 2400XP hasnt let me down yet, saying that Ive only had it installed for two days...what speed you getting out of it so far? still over 2.4GHz?
or am I thinking of someone else?
2500+ barton seems a good bet mate
bit too expensive 2bh i think
Sounds like its a job for theOriginally posted by Sibu
