sYstEmATiC Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 im buying a new cpu tomorrow and i wont oc it heavily yet. how much of a difference is there between a 2500 and a 2800? i was thinking of the 2500 but i just started thinking of maybe the 2800 if its not too much more, is it worth the extra money? Thx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dignan Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 At this point a nice easy OC to accomplish would be the change from 166 to 200 FSB. With the 2500 you get it to be exactily like the 3200+ and will post as that being the processor. I assume you understand about the recent locking of the processors so the multiplier can't be changed but the FSB still can. I would get the 2500 and still have some money in your pocket. I vote 2500+ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vote 2500+ I agree 100%. Money is better to have then the same core CPU... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mist Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 on the pre 39 and some of the ones after yest but after week 39 they made it so they wouldnt unlock the multi. It is still a steal for a 3200+ heh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sYstEmATiC Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 (edited) this SUCKS i cant order it today because mine/my parents bank is Dumb! im only 16 so i have no paypal/debitcard, so i have to deposit my money into their acount when i want to buy something online. i specificly said "id like to deposit this into Checking" and she even repeted it back to me but she wrote it down as savings, sooooo i cant get it today. pisses me off. and now i have to wait till monday even though its going to be an overnight shipping because newegg doesnt ship orders on the weekend. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im so pissed, already broke an old cassette tape. (it was sitting on the table and i punched it, cut up my nuckles, so then i got more mad. then my dad is lazy and says "just wait till tomorrow, i dont feel like ordering it right now." he does it every time i go to order something, if it wasnt for that, it would have been in my machine right now and i would have been happy but no, im more pissed now than i have been in several months. sorry for ranting on but crap EDIT* YAAAAY, i am getting it tonight afterall, getting retail 2500+ (dont need the heatsink but the 3 year warranty is worth 5 bucks more) and as5 or ceramique. EDIT#2* i just got the retail athlonxp 2500+ and a 3.5g tube of as5. ordered it rush dilivery and fedex overnight so hopfully it will be hear tomorrow or sturday.
