last i checked (8 seconds ago) pc3700 was just as cheap/expensive as
pc3200...arent the p4's multipliers locked???

What is it about 200FSB ?
Why do people stop there ?

Any self-respecting o/c'er always maxes out FSB first - and I can't believe
that the limit of so many boards just happens to be 200 FSB.
If I had a pound for every 11.5/11/10.5 x 200 boast I'd seen, I'd be a happy
man.

The only spec that gets respect is FSB, so unless you're doing over 230 -
you might aswell zip it.

Trolling?!!

but what the hell...

It is not in dispute that fast fsb is good - but maybe not everyone has the
same kit as you.

I am using an fsb of 167Mhz - I have a KT333 chipset and pc2700 noname ram,
yet others have got 100Mhz/133Mhz fsb limitations and have still managed to
achieve cpu speeds of 2400Mhz. So I personally respect someone who can make
the most of what they have got.

For example, I would be far more impressed with someone who could get a KT
chipset to 200MHz fsb running at a 1:1 ratio, than with someone who can
stick expensive ram in a good board and ramp it.

but athlons do no realy benefit from a fsb above 200. with the money you
save from not getting 3700 ram you could get a P4 C w/hyperthreading.

So you would have me believe that _my_ budget system at $75 for
mobo, $85 for cpu, $50 for hsf, my $130 Ti4600 8x, $120 for my
ki8ckass ram, and my $100 case/psu will not rival intel sys at
many hundreds more? I hate arguing then finer points of
performance, but I have to believe that my $500-$600 system will
stomp anything intel at a similar price. And after all isn't
price per performance what it's all about?

i agree it's about price/performance, but to achieve 200+ mhz FSB would
need ram that's at least 3500 if not 3700. My point being, the $ lost on
the 3700 memory could have been spend on combining a P4 2.4C with 3200
memory. Jacking the 2.4 to 3.2+ghz on stock cooling would perform better
than an athlon running at 230Mhz FSB.

simply put a 2500+ Barton and 3700 would cost similiarly to a combination
of P4 2.4C and 3200 memory, but you can really overclock the snot out of
the P4.

I guess i haven't seen a p4 at stock 1800+- clock that performs
better in any overclock. The Geil Golden Dragon PC3500 2x256 that
has convinced me at the price i paid for my bargain nf2 board and
chip... If you'd care to comapre any benchmarks please let me
know and i'll make screenshots and links available
