best skt 939 chip for overclock? not too much $$$$$
Looking for the best "bang for the buck" socket 939 chip....thinking of
going with the 3200+ 90nm chip.....any thoughts? Oh I've decided on the MSI K8N neo2 platinum for a board....seems like the best (or at least most affordable for me is the above chip...can be had for about 200 bucks...so total cost for board and chip would be around $340.00 pretty pricy for me. The last board and chip I bought was around $100 bucks less, and I am still running it...Asus board with a Barton core 2500+ (clocked to 3200+...since day one) It's still a good setup. I am not sure if the upgrade is worth it.....Opinions, on chip and whether or not upgrade is worth it???? TIA Thanks again, Bitsbucket --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

" Seeing as you are running your 2500+ at 3200+, you won't be getting a massive performance increase with a skt939 3200+, certainly not an increase worth $340. What's the rest of your system? For overall bang-for-buck, I would advise on upgrading the graphics card, and jumping to 1GB RAM if you haven't already. Sell your current graphics card on eBay, and you'll probably have a better -bang-for-buck system than if you had spent your budget on a new motherboard and CPU. |

I have 1 gig of 3500 mem now, with copper heatsinks, Video card is a 9000
All-in-wonder, (according to device manager, to tell you the truth I really can't remember the model number, it has 64 meg of DDR) I know This can be improved upon, but I like the all-in-wonder and to get the Hottest AIW would cost me more than the Motherboard and CPU upgrade :-( I like having the TV function, I guess I could use a capture card and a better video card, but again that puts the price point above the MOBO and CPU option.....suggestions?
