Opinion required
I need an opinion. I am currently in the process of speccing an (almost)-entirely new machine:
Asus A7N8X GeForce FX 5200 (64mb RAM) 1 gig DDR (PC3200) I have drives already and a case on the way. What I would like is an honest opinion: should I just buy a Barton 2800+ (which I can afford right now) or should I save up to get the Barton 3200+? What is the performance difference besides a PR number? Are there any issues with RAM/AGP etc. etc. I should be concerned about? Thanks for your time. I'm a AMD newbie, so please forgive me. -- --- Doug Whitesell Exiled Lab Technician "As computers get faster, the operating system overhead must increase in proportion." zigspalffy33 [at] verizon [dot] net |

Set the fsb to 200Mhz instead of the default 166 and you have a 3200+. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.html |
