Default wich chip

Spend £50 on an XP1700 DLT3C from www.cpucity.com and then overclock it to
XP2600 speed easily without any risk of damaging the chip.

If your motherboard isn't up to it, then spend another £90 or so on an Epox
8RDA and you'll still end up having £60 left for beer :-)

hardly any really overclocks in the true sense of the word. But when you
consider that a cpu with the same core is sold anywhere between 1466MHz
and 2250MHz, is it really overclocking to run the one designated at
1466MHz at 2000Mhz. The core doesn't care what you run it at, or if you
call it overclocking or not. Only a fool would buy a core for $200 that he
can get for $50.
