ShadowPaktu Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 I dont know much about the conversion rates, but isn't that a little TOO dear for that chip? over here in blighty we normally sell them for Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSternMystic Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 I just read a review at AMDZone...From what I could make out, the Winchester Core performed worse than the Newcastle by a fair margin. i.e. The 2800+ Newcastle Stomped the 3000+ Winchester...Am I just stupid, or does this chip actually suck?

confuzzedintelguy Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 well what about the 3500 winchester i realy want to know how these overclock before i buy one because if they dont overclock good i see no since in buying one over a regular chip so hopefully they will come out with more reviews Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyBalrog Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 I think the Winchester is about the same in most benchmarks to the Newcastle but up to 5% slower in a few. It also runs 5 degres hotter so i would think not as good of a overclocker... Thought the 3000+ may have some headroom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

computerfreakxv Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 (edited) I got this from another website... Re: AMD64 90nm Pricing very strange -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By the way I was able to get my $190 3200 all the way up to 2.6ghz 10-260fsb 4x htt and ram running at about 215mhz(beotch!!!) on air at 1.75v but it would prime at 2.5ghz all night last night, my ram sucks. He is talking about the new AMD Winchester 3200+... Edited October 3, 2004 by computerfreakxv Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
