    Don't buy a OEM AMD CPU. Get a 'retail box' one instead. I comes with a cooler and a way better warranty.

    You could also save money and get the 2500+ and run it at 3200+ speeds. Many other members have done that here.

    Yes, the multiplyer is locked but... to run at 3200+ speed all you need to do is change the Front Side Bus speed from 333 to 400. That isn't locked.

    I had a question say I bought a 2500+ but my mother board says it only supports chips up to 3000+ would I still be able to OC to 3200+
