if i remeber correctly you can buy those tbred for sub $100. so that is a very good buy.

well, i just saw this.

Have fun!

Would that make it faster? I think so- And for avout 60 dollars. Still best deal.

mike2h · Jun 13, 2003, 05:56 PM

no, it is still slower when overclocked. the 2.4c can go much higher than that, + has 800 bus & ht. still, $60 is a nice price.

BWX · Jun 13, 2003, 07:06 PM

Yup, price is very good- How much is a 2.4c going for these days?

When the 2.53 chip was price cut late last year, I couldn't resist. PC1066 memory bandwidth crushed absolutely everything in it's sight, and I have never had a smoother, more perfectly running rig.

But, that was then, this is now. . .I am becoming more interested in going back to AMD, especially with bus speeds and dual channel DDR coming on the scene. . .

Soon the XP1700+ Tbred-B DLT3C JIUHB 1.5V (hoping for 2.4ghz) -- bwhahahahahahaa

DriveEuro · Jun 13, 2003, 09:29 PM

Most of them stop at 2.4, no matter what voltage you put in them. I know people who's chips stop in the 2.4s and won't go faster unless you add like a full .20volts

tek · Jun 13, 2003, 09:30 PM

No, Cereal Killer got one to 2.45ghz

DriveEuro · Jun 13, 2003, 09:33 PM

Yes, but most stop in the 2.4s That's what I am trying to say. It's hard to hit 2.5 without a big jump in voltage. Athough when chill with Promethia you can hit 2500mhz with little voltage.

Thor.... Where the hell do you get the money for rigs like that... D@MN, that's some money.

mike2h · Jun 13, 2003, 10:19 PM

you might want to take a look at a 865 solution. you get EVERYTHING- 800 bus, firewire, usb2, raid sata, raid ata, gigabit lan(off the pci bus), dual chhannel ddr, & assorted other goodies. for under $150.
