I'm currently running an Abit NF7 motherboard which is capable of running,
according to the Abit website "...the latest AMD Athlon XP, BartonT
processors with 200/266/333 FSB...". I currently have an AMD Athlon 2000+
XP, Palimino processor on the board. I have 512 of Kingston PC3200 DDR400,
dual channel RAM installed. I'm mostly looking for performance for the
games that I play, currently DOOM3, as well as generally increasing the
speed of the system for everyday tasks. I've never overclocked a system,
but if it's there I may give it a go.
What I was looking for is advice on which CPU would give me the most "bang
for my buck" in real world performance. I mean, I could spend $100 to get a
57% increase, but if I could spend, $25 and get a 40% increase I'd consider
that the better deal.
Thanks for any and all advice...
