performance gain from 2400+ to 3000+

Hi i have xp 1700+ overclocked to 2400+ by changing fsb from 133 to
166. i was wondering if there will be a noticeable performace gain if
i upgrade the chip to 3000+ since it's the max speed my mb can
support(kt400). TIA

What are you using your system for?

From a performance point of view, I hate to say it....Intel is the best
choice for that type of work. However, to answer your question, take a look
at the following link.....

Thank for the info. i'm thinking i'll just get the compaq SR1010Z
athlon 64 3400+ system from hp.com for about 399 after rebate. how
much performance gain will it get from xp 2400+ to athlon 64 3400+?
i'm using it mostly for multimedia. TIA

I don't do video but for number crunching I did a comparison between
an xp 2000 and an xp 3400. Gain in speed was maybe 20%. I didn't
have the resources to determine where the bottleneck was. So I
decided to divide the job into pieces and run it on multiple machines.
