The subject pretty much tells all...
I've got the setup for a decent overclock, know how to go about it, but what's the deal with these two chips?
Back when I bought the chip I have now (Barton 2500+ @ 2.3ghz) it was a gamble, noone really knew which chip performed better (between the 1700+ and 2500+).
It's been several months since then, and I'm in the market for a new chip. The one I have now will go into a new computer, and I will likely stick the new chip into my own. What's the best chip as far as raw speed? I'm not into hardcore 3D gaming or the like, just want the fastest chip for the least amount of cash. Extra speed is worth the extra $ to an extent. Any recommendations?
TIA
