Hey all.
Im running right now:
P4 2.4 oc 2.8
MSI MS6728
1gb pc2100 ram
Saphire 9600 Atlantis 256mb
80gb 133 hdr
I want to upgrade to:
Athlon 64 3000+ Venice
AsRock 939Dual s939
Connect3d x800GTO (OC to open 16pipes)
Corsair 512x2 3200 ram
WD SATA 150 80gb
I know this will be fast but by how much?
I am also puzzled by statements made about the Athlon 64 chip:
" I overclocked this bad boy to 2.2Ghz and it runs at 36C on idle and 42C on full load with stock heatsink." or " Great overclocker. I have mine a 2.637 Ghz and my current memory is the only thing holding it back" or " This 3000 is running at 2700
on air, a great pc for the money."
Now I am running the P4 at 2.8 but everyone's review of the A64 chip shows they are all happy to hit 2.4 or 2.5/ What am I missing?
Is it that since its an Athlon 64 that measuring clockrate is different?
Also any advice for the upgrade?
Thanks!
Rob
