AMD Athlon XP 2700+

[Embattle]

Well it seems you can get one now from Overclockers.co.uk:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_AMD_CPUs_51.html#acp_2d031_2dam

Although its not cheap at £311.90 and won't remain the top XP for long with the 2800+ due just after Xmas, thus its price will drop.

Dig the 333MHz FSB.

 

[Embattle]

Think I'll wait for either the 2800+ or 3000+ to appear before I upgrade again.

 

[Testin da Cable]

indeed.


*resist urge to upgrade just for the hell of it*

 

[PR.]

I'll take a P4 3.06ghz Dell 8250 instead please...

 

[Embattle]

Think I'll stop wasting excessive amounts of money on PCs atm.

 

[Testin da Cable]

I just built me new system around a xp 2400 @ £165
wonder what will b about this time next year .....

 

[Wilier]

only upgrade when the chip youve got has been doubled. Thats a good rule of thumb. (although, incredibly boring)

 

[throdgrain]

Nar that IS boring Willier Upgrade when the game you're playing wont run as well as you want .

Get the Nomad Zen TdC, its 100 quid cheaper and it does firewire and usb. Same amount of space and its only a tiny bit larger in size. It doesnt look quite as nice but I dont think nice looks warrant 100quid in this case

I didn't think the 2600+ cpu was a 333fsb? see ocuk

 

[jis]

yeah i got a 2600+ xp and it is indeed of the 333 fsb variety. But i beleive there are two types of the 2600+

 

[Embattle]

Just punted my 2100+ to 2400+

 

[Embattle]

Ok back to 2300+, crap memory.

 

[Wilier]

you need a better cooling solution mate, that'll be it.

 

[Embattle]
