i cant decide on which cpu to go with since im mostly gonna use it for gaming and a few other things what do u guys say the barton is 60$ more
 
I wouldn't waste the money on the 2400. I would either go with the 2800+ or wait till the next gen comes out. But if you not liking that answer I would say the 2400 Barton.
 
XP 2700, good price, same speed as XP3000, - 256 onboard.... whoop de doo i saved £200 losing that bit of memory :)

either should net you around the same performance...

the 100 difference in the PR rating is not that big :)

buy whats in your budget... and buy better memory with the savings... :)
 
well i want to spend less than 1000$ CAN dollars and i want the asus nforce2 mobo, 512ddr ram at 2700 or whatever is good for pice, good cpu cant make my mind up, case, and cdr,floppy without a monitor and vid card.
 
I would get any core that runs at 333MHz so you can run it in sync with your pc2700 ram. Im gonna order a 2500 tommorrow.
 
i made my mind up and im going with the Amd barton 2500
 
if I were you I'd get the xp2700. I read some articles and it seems that the 2700 out did the 2500 barton by a ton. Besides, it's only an extra 40 bucks to get the XP2700 over the 2500 on pircewatch.

If anything, i f you want real power out of a barton, get a xp3000 barton. Of course, that's about 500 dollars...
 
The barton core overclocks better than the other cores.
Don't waste your money on a 2800+ or a 3000+, on about 3 OCing forums I frequent I've seen the 2500+ OC the same as the 2800+ and the 3000+. They are the same chip, just different names.
 
There you go

AMD ATHLON XP 2500+ 512K 333FSB BARTON RETAIL BOX 3YR MFR. WARRANTY $208

ASUS A7N8X DELUXE $207

CORSAIR CMX512-3200C2 DDR 512MB PC3200 $228

LG GCE-8520B BLACK CDRW 52X24X52 $78.27

SONY BLACK 1.44MB 3.5IN FLOPPY DRIVE $22

ANTEC TRUEPOWER 430W ATX12V PS/2 SIZE 2 FANS LOW NOISE $125

there you go, that's what I'd get, all prices are from www.NCIX.com
 
You can get the asus motherboard for a lot cheaper than that (about 50 dollars cheaper). It's supposed to retail for 140, I think, but don't quote me on that.
 
You don't need the pc3200 ram its really a waste. Stick to pc2700 because its 333mhz like the FSB so they run synchronously.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
