xp1600 or xp2200

[Drak55]

as you see I have an xp2200@2088 but why would anyone get an xp2200 if with an xp1600 you can reach higher speeds for the price I payed for this chip I could have gotten 4 xp1600 and ran them faster whats the differance in the xp2200 running at 2gigs and an xp1600 running at 2gigs are they the same at same speeds

well for one thing with the 2200 there is a much higher chance that you will get over 2g's and with a 1600 agoia you aint guarenteed over 1700mhz (never seen a single agoia y get lower than 1700). i have a 1600+ agoia y and it wont do 1800mhz regardless of the vcore

I'm a bit over 2gigs but I see some people say 2.1 on the 1600

Like you said "they say” I find that highly doubtful that a 1600 could reach 2.1. (even with a phase-change)

I would either wait until Oct. for the new Tbreds or go with a 1600.

a 1600+@2.1ghz is definety possible lol i didnt think so either tho till i got my own agoia y week 13 right now i am running at 1.85v and 1.94ghz would be higher but my ram hit the wall oh... u might need a vmod tho i have ajustable vcore up to 2.2v i know that will get me 2ghz and i think it could go a bit more possibly 2.1ghz

Possible I guess your right. but for me to believe I would have to be there physically. LOL One of the highest I've seen was DaGooch at Xtreme. He was around 2.063. (I think)

They seem to run into a wall after a certain voltage.

I have the 2200@2088 I was just saying its a waist to spend the money on an xp2200 when you can get an xp1600 for more than half the price with the money you save you can setup a w/c system:D I'll wait a bit befor I get a new chip again see how other people do with the new amd chips and see if they are worth the money

[bobt17]

well i am getting some mushkin 3200 ram soon so that will give me the headroom i need to push this to 2ghz+ i will probly post my results when i hit the highest i can so keep watching the forums :)
