Athlon XP 3200, almost there.

Post by Aggressor Prime »

I have been watching this awesome CPU go from $400 to now only $179. By Christmas, it should be less than $100 because of socket 939 and all the new K8s coming out. If not, I'll wait till Feb. By then, the price should be down because of the dual cores.

I have been doing some research on it though. It overclocks to 2.65GHz nicely. I can't wait for 2.65GHz. It should be 2* as powerful as my solution now.

Of course I will buy the new Corsair XL PRO RAM with it.
OCing is so fun! :D

Sure. Here it is. PRO hasn't hit the market, but this is the same thing. You just don't get the special heatsink with the lights and the mini fans.

I like the latency 2-2-2-5 :) Very nice, but a little too much money... I wait for it to drop..

Until DDR2 hits big for Intel, there isn't going to be a drop for DDR. :(

You could just go 2500+ (~$70) or 2500+ mobile (~$100). Both should reach 3200+ speeds no problem (I have even heard with stock cooling, which seems possible as it more than liekly uses the same retail cooling solution.),Ii have even thought of doing this myself as it would be a fairly cheap upgrade, but I think i am just going for 1GB of at least PC3200 ram and a new cooling solution just to reach 400 FSB, I have unlocked multi so my options there are many :).
