AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Upgrade
Ordered a new AMD Athlon 64 fx-55 (San Diego) today
In July I built a A64 3500 (venice) on an Asus A8N-E ultra mobo with only 512Mb ( I ran out of cash) I had to jump on the Newegg.com deal. ( A64 fx-55 and Seagate HD 250Mb SATA combo for $199 with shipping) With this CPU I'll go from 2.2Mhz to 2.6Mhz, 512Kib cache to 1Mib. And best of all the chip is UNLOCKED !! P.S. Since I'm splurging, I'll get another stick of DDR400- HyperX to go dual channel.

I ordered some Seagate drives but alas, all my m/bs are AM2 so I didn't do the combo deal. I hear that's one fast chip! Art

Vince With an FX you can raise and lower the CPU multiplier, all other AMD64's you can only lower the multiplier which forces you to raise the bus speed in order to OC the CPU. Ed

Been running an A8N-E & 4200+ X2 for almost a year now @ 236x11 (2.6Ghz), and still loving it!  Ed Running the same CPU, same clocking on an A8N-VM CSM with a GeForce 7600GT. Very nice set-up.

MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum In BIOS setup, go into the Cell Menu and start tweaking up the FSB. Isn't the FSB speed different than the CPU multiplier? Currently it's set at 209 x 13.0. How do I increase the 13?
