URGENT HELP NEEDED (Soulgrind, mm...)

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.

What??? It\'s a 2.8 GHZ! How the hell it\'ll run at 1,53!?

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

Yes, I mispelt the description, sorry. Do you think it\'s a good purchase?

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.

haha, you fell for the AMD naming hype

anyways, get intel

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).

:yawn:

sucker

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

Or how about the Centrino mobile processors?

Perhaps intel is better. I always liked intel over AMD, but now, that have to change the processor, my money is not unlimited, so I only want hear if these components are worth the money or i am wasting my credit.

I have the fealing that you would brakedown if someone replaced your MB & CPU for an Athlon and took your Nvidia and replaced it with ATI.

someone would die

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.

intel = stability

this cannot be contested and worth the SMALL jump in price
you act like yer saving hundreds of dollars by buying a shitty AMD chip
