Cheapest Memory

Crucial RAM doesn't overclock well

and the Athlon XP 2500+ mobile should be 333 FSB (check that DarkClown12) - it overclocks better than the desktop version because the multiplier is unlocked and it runs naturally at a lower voltage

yes,I forgot about the lower core voltage,this helps with temps while overclocking.

So which do i get? athlon xp 2500+ mobile, or barton

[GrubMe]

Dont get either of them...
Get a P4 processer, athlons have what I think poor slow proccesers.
Had one myself and did not like it one bit.

Now a days P4 have FSB 533 - 800
For just 230 - 260 dollars (CDN).
With that price you can get 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.8 or even 3.0 GHZ.

i duno man

Athlon 2500+ Desktop: Cheapest, the 2500+ was the overclocking CPU of choice before...

Athlon 2500+ Mobile: Overclocks well (google some reviews, it can go to insane speeds), tad more expensive

Pentium 4: Generally faster, not sure about overclocking, but IMO Intel have always been less value for money

i think ultra makes a good ram stick for overclocking. I use transcend ddr400
