what Cpu do you have?

[Bigal]

Thermalright is doing something special in my book. My last four heatsinks have been Thermalright, and the last two were the SP-97. I just love heatpipe technology.

I have A AMD athlon 1800+ and a 1.8ghz AMD Duron in my two systems.
Just as long as you cool them enough you will be able to over clock them and run them very nicely.

Running Systems:
Two AMD T-Birds @ 1400
One AMD Duron @ 1200
One Intel Celeron @ 433

CPU's waiting for a home:
Celeron 400
Cyrix 600
Cyrix 650
Cyrix 733

...older technology. Are you going to get those extra CPU's up and running before it's too late? By too late, I mean that you might not be able to find the necessary motherboard / bios / etc. to run them. hat

[khyron]

intel 2.6c @ 3.25 for gamer
amd xp2500 @ 2.1ghz game server/ file server
amd 800mhz tbird @ 900mhz linux box
amd k6-2 something or other

[Bigal]

I don't think so. Intel sucks, as does their entire marketing department. :argue

Nah, I'm gonna upgrade the C433 to the cheapest fast processor I can find that this board will run. I might step my 1.4G to an XP model to about 2.0GHz. Then the duron will be tossed in favor of the now spare 1.4G. Other than that, I'm too cheap to upgrade when all I do is email and play freecell anymore.

two comps one running a 2000+ AMD and one running a 2100+ AMD and i have a 850Mhz duron lying in a box with its heatsink in my draw.


AMD FOREVER, INTEL SUCKS!


p.s

intel is on the right and AMD the left, lol no offence meant to anyone who owns a intel.

:fight

[Executioner]

Have 6 boxes, and all of them are Intel. I did have one AMD, but I set that one up for my father-in-law.

....another AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton for a system I'm building for a friend. This will take time to build, as I await the money - small chunks have started rolling in. Anyway, it should run at the 3200+ rating on the Soyo SY-KT600 Dragon Plus Ver1.0 motherboard. I picked up both of these at newegg, where the CPU was $75, and the motherboard was $40 (after $10 rebate). Hard to beat that! Now I need to wait a month and then get two 512 MB sticks of PC3200 memory and two 36GB WD Raptor 10KRPM SATA drives. That will amount to $450. When the money comes in for that, we'll be left with the high-end videocard, either the new Geforce 6800 (ultra) or the ATI 800 series.

[daba]

Intel 3.0c @ 3.6

[SUB_ZERO]

Mobile celeron 1.8 @ 2.6 on air ....woot .. hame


It does the job and is my backup as the expensive setup decided not to send a signal to the monitor today so back to the drawing board with it,I think the card pooped on me.....

That is a AMD 64 3200 / 7800GT OC in a aspire Q-XPACK case..

[Bigal]

...and somebody adds another comment. This topic might live for a decade.

Anyway, my current favorite CPU is the Athlon 64 X2 3800+, which is a dual core of course. Nothing beats an AMD CPU for value, power, and things of this nature.

[Qui Gon-Jinn]

ahh.. I'll add some..

Work box.. 2.66ghz P4 socket 775
game box.. Athlong 64 3800 X2.. "Dual Core Goodness"..
Lappy.. P4 3.06ghz

Sitting on the shelf.. look like it's going to be a TV box.. Celleron 2.53Ghz.. and Soyo board..
