CPU speedup

[marneus]

How much difference in actual performance would I get upgrading my CPU from a 1.2Gig (oc @1.33Ghz) to a 1800+ on a Mobo with KT266a chipset... a lot, a little, 10%, 20%... any ideas ???

the real question is what are you going to do with your computer? If your going to play games or encode video/audio their will be a decrease in load time and framerate in some games. If not, their won't be a real difference

"What kind of idiot are you?"
"I don't know, what kinds are there?"

Save your money!

unless you are limited to what you can do with that computer and is too slow. I wouldn't bother. Even still you got PCI slots. Need firewire simply buy a firewire card or what you need to do the things you want to do.

Save your money. Put the money in the bank and leave it there.
