i realize 90% of everyone on here is pro-AMD but PLEASE try to give me a fair and honest answer to this quesion.
-I already own a Celeren D 330 w/ upgraded fan/heatsink. With the motherboard to overclock it and high performance RAM, it all costs around $280.
-However, an AMD 64 3000+ Venice w/ a motherboard with no overclocking capabilites and value RAM, is around $280 also.
(all other components such is vid. card or harddrive, etc. would be the same in each system)
Now do I stick with the Cely project and overclock it to 3.8ghz and possibly have room to OC more with water cooling some time in the future, or do I try to sell the Cely and go with the AMD system that can't be OC'ed.
Here's the way I see it right now... I really want a fun OC project. HOWEVER, the socket 939 leaves me LOTS of room for future upgrade. Unlike socket 478 which I could, at most, put in a P4 3.4E and overclock that.
My Cely was only $78, so I wouldn't be losing a whole lot of money...
also, if anyone can think of any other pros/cons, please mention them
