Faster cpu or faster memory or keep the $ *DELETED*

Post deleted by Zeekfu

Sorry, I am getting a bit carried away. I usually don't ever spend money like this. It is a big splurge thing. It is just that considering the overall cost of the build $50-$100 doesn't seem like all that much. (till I am eating peanut butter and jelly for a month). I read that mobile xp ocs awesome. I never would have even thought a mobile processor would have fit in a regular mobo if I hadn't been on this forum bugging the crap out of you guys for the last week.:< ) I still might go with that mobile xp though. How is your gamming performance with that mobile xp oced and the 9600 pro? Are all the benchmarks and all this jazz just pretty much a bunch of hype? You think you would see a difference with an athlon 64 or is just hype and abstract benchmarks?

I changed to 2x512 Samsung, since 3x512 won't run any faster than 133mhz. Now i can run at 210.

I'm broke, that's the reason i went with samsung, personally for my Athlon64 system if i had the money i'd definently have went with 2x512 OCZ PC3700 Rev1 gold memory. Since they can run at 233 with 2.5-3-3-7, and they run on Athlon64 nForce3 150 chipset at 250mhz with 2-2-3-6 no problem. It's definently not a waste of money to get the high-performance memories. OCZ PC3700 Gold Rev1's gone now, and i haven't seen many other memories that can do 250 with 2-2-3-6, and the other factor's that Athlon64 doesn't mind a divider, so if i were you i'd get some 2-2-3-5 PC3200 ram, since they're soooo much cheaper than 2-2-2-5, then pump 2.8-2.9Vdimm through it and force the 2-2-2-5. Use a CPU/12 Divider, then you can have HT at 240, and memory at default 200. This will give you great performance. If you're going with the 3200+, this will give you a 2400mhz processor. This WILL rape the AthlonXP M at 2.8ghz any day in almost ANYTHING!! And not to mention this could be done with 1.7Vcore on stockcooling.

Go for the extreme then, or you could try the C2 with 2.8vdimm and see if you can get the 2-2-2-5.

Keep the $100 and buy groceries. You can't eat your puter.

Your broke. Time to sell your OCed vid card.

get the corsair twinx1024-3200c2

ok ill say this again

for non ocing get : corsair twinx1024-3200c2

if you want to oc get: OCZ PC-3700EB 1gb kit
and dont ask about the latency witht he ocz ram, its a special process that ocz uses that provides performance without extreme timings. and its shown to oc very well on athlon systems.
