So....!? What's the value/speed deal right now?
My first big upgrade was a 200mgz to a Celeron 300A that I clocked to 450. That was a DEAL & I loved the performance. I was happy for a while. Then it was a flip-chip P3 600 clocked at 800. I was happy. Then P4s came out, over-priced, neutered, & I jumped ship to AMD & got an 1800+ but ran it at it's rated speed. But still saved a ton over a P4. I was happy. Then, & finally I am running a 2500+ (1833) at 3200+ (2200) & I am getting the itch. I am feeling an onset of Upgrade Fever. What is the speed vs value deal going right now? To be honest, I kept myself away from the hardware pages/groups to keep from catching the Fever & I am way behind the times. All I know is that I should maybe be lookin at Socket 939. Any good, inexpensive CPUs that I can crank up to expensive speeds? =) |

You can do the math on respective CPU prices. Go to the group above for more/better O/C stories with A64. |
