Couple questions....
I'll get straight to the point..
I found a AXDA1700DUT3C JIUHB0318TPMW at gameve.com for 49$ and a AXDA1700DUT3C JIUHB:0302 MPM at excaliberpc.com for 60.50$ which one would you guys recommend for a bang:buck ratio?
I'm planning on putting it in an Abit NF7 and maybe NF7-S if I feel froggish...
Next question, cooling- Is it logical to think I can spend @30$ for cooling and get into the 2.4-2.5ghz range?
Do you think maybe skimp on the cooling and go barton 2500+ with retail fan and get into the 2.4-2.5's? (the 30 i save on the fan for a 1700 will get me a 2500+ barton at www.buyxg.com but no guaranteed stepping)
Any advice would be much appreciated thanks guys!
