I building a new PC. Whats the best XP CPU for the dollar. I will be unlocking it immediately so I will have the most control for OC. I will be air cooling only with a Thermalright AC-7 and Vantec Tornado fan combo. My case will have 5 fans and a Antec 430W PSU. I've been thinking about an XP 1800 with an Asus A7V333. Your thoughts?

I think the 1800+ clocks almost as high as the faster ones.

I got a 1600+ that runs at 2100+(1.73ghz) speed with stock voltages. It hit's a brick wall at 1.83ghz though. Not bad for $66 dollars :).

XP 1800 is the go.

I'm running an XP1700 @1640 not unlocked. Beyond that I get lockups. The best recommendation I can offer, is get the fastest your budget will allow and tweak it to it's breaking point. That is the most bang for your buck. A CPU is something most of us change on a yearly basis, so you might as well get what you want, then push it. Since not all CPU's Overclock equally, it's hard to say which is the best buy



:cool: Save heating costs on your home, overclock your PC!!! :cool:

I can get my 1800 to at least 1.73, 1800 is the way to go, and only $80 now!
