URGENT HELP NEEDED (Soulgrind, mm...)
« on: July 19, 2003, 11:58:40 AM »
I can\'t bear anymore this old processor. I\'ve decided to buy a new one.

A friend visited me today and we were surfing a spanish site of pc components in order to update the PC. I NEED you to check these components and tell me if it\'s a good choice or if it\'s all crap. As you know, i\'m not specialist in Hardware, so any help will be welcomed. I don\'t have much money, so it\'s of vital importance to buy good components.
They are:

AMD Athlon XP +2.8 GHZ BARTON (194€)
Motherboard Abit NF7-SL 2.0 (navidia nForce) (109€)
512 DDR 333 KINGSTON (81€)

+shipping

TOTAL: 384€

What do you think?

That processor doesn\'t run at 2.8 ghz Adan, it only runs at 1.53ghz. My new computer has an Athlon XP +2400 and that runs at 2ghz.

Oh I see you edited your post!

It originally said  Athlon XP 1800+ which is totally different to the Barton.

Forget the 1.53ghz then :D

I don\'t know much about those Barton processors but at 2.8ghz it should be fast. I know mm doesn\'t like AMD processors though, although soulgrind loves them.:D

I chose AMD because they\'re really cheaper than INTEL at even the same speeds. Perhaps INTEL offers a slighty bigger performance, but not worth the 100€ of difference (IMO).

Well Adan, to mm clock speed is everything. I bet he\'ll hate the Opteron then.

Or how about the Centrino mobile processors? :p

this is too funny.

here you go kid

Barton 2500 XP(best bang for buck out of all the Bartons) Overclock that sucker to a 3200.

Intel=Overpriced/overhyped money scam.

Although the new P4c\'s are not half bad(money/performance wise),  The high end AMD chips, 2800, and the 400fsb 3000 xp are a ripoff.
