well, as you know, i am very excited about all this talk about this show.. i like to think of myself as an anthusiaist, but since i haven't heard of this, i'll demote myself all the way to a noob.. anyhow, here in canada i found the chip for $99.. this is the same price as a 2000+ or similar (the lowest barton, at 2500+, is about $140CND).. the dut3c is only $10 cheaper, so if i was gonna choose, i would definitely spend the extra bucks.. but is the dlt3c so much better that i shouldn't even buy a 2000+ instead, even though they are the same price?? what do you think?
in effect, i am asking whether the overclocking ability of the dlt3c is so much more powerful then the overclocking of a 2000+ (or 1.8ghz intel which is the same price, but i haven't been with intel since pentium 90)?? how much does the 2000+ (for example) overclock compared to the dlt3c 1700?? are they pretty much the same chip but amd overclocked the bigger?
which brings me up to the other question, since chips seem to overclock less as they get faster on the same line (die), would that suggest that the company just overclocks the same chip (besides cache size etc.) and then sells it as higher end? this would certainly appear to be the case with the 1700+
