Just out of curiousity, what CPU are you using in your main PC. The PC you use everyday, not the PC on order, the CPU that is your workhorse.

Mines a 1700+. I need to order a 2500+ simply because of how cheap it would be an give me a great perfomance increase. I'd run mine at 2800+ though.
The beauty of AMD. :smile:

Athlon 1700+, Epox 8RDA (NForce2), Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 9 80GB 8MB cache, 2x256mb Crucial PC2100 in Dual DDR, Radeon 9800NP, Audigy, Z560s, MX500

I had innumerable problems with my via chipsets. KT133,KT133A and KT266A.
You should also get a 2500+ unless your waiting for the Prescott.

Athlon 1700+, Epox 8RDA (NForce2), Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 9 80GB 8MB cache, 2x256mb Crucial PC2100 in Dual DDR, Radeon 9800NP, Audigy, Z560s, MX500

It would be pointless on a 8KHA+, either lack of support, or simply that it won't perform that much better. I am looking for a quantum leap of over 2x performance, and that's up to the next generation AMD or Intel. I ain't switching till next year for sure.

Tbred B 1700+ running at 133x12.5 (2000+). I havent overclocked further because I dont need the performance and currently my comp is running very quiet.

I'm running the XP2500, A7N8X Deluxe & a gig of Hyper X 3200. Changed to a 12.5 multiplier & went to 2800 speeds before I loaded the OS. Sweet chip I'm telling you.

BTW, I took out a XP2400, A7V8X MOBO & 2 x 256 Hyper X 2700 & stuck it on the shelf. Yes, going slower was faster. :wink:

I've got to get rid of my old stuff before it's not worth anything though. Been setting there for a few months now.

Dazzle them with Brilliance, or Baffle them with BS! :wink:

AAAhhhh! This is a bad country to have a computer!

Mine is a P3 550Mhz on a P3V133 (I think) and some reasonably low-latency memory (I checked the other day, can't really remember) with a 15GB HD on a ... ATA-66 interface, I think. Diamond Viper II with 32MB memory as a video card... AGP2x, of course... Getting slow and awkward to work with! This was top of the line when we bought it, so it's old...

I'm thinking about getting a completely new computer by late 2003 or maybe early 2004...

celeron 1.1 oc'd to 1.4. (I know it's a celeron, but I'm not paying $400 dollars for the P3 1.4. Besides, it's a tulatin core, so it's all good). 512MB of pc 133 running on a Epox 3vsa2 mb using the Via Apollo Pro chipset. That, and my 9600 Pro.

As each day goes by, I hug my 9600Pro just a little tighter.

I've got an Audigy card in there, with a 30GB 7200 rpm hd, a 40GB 5400rpm, 16x DVD, 52x24x52 cd. IT gets the job done.

As each day goes by, I hug my 9600Pro just a little tighter.
