Hello... Been out of the loop for awhile, after getting a pair of Celermine 500s to 800 @ 1.7..... I think I may have finally done some damage to them over the past 8 months as my systems are becoming less and less stable... but those could be other things too, Ive been overclocking my vid cards and playing w/ beta drivers... All fun stuff.
ANYWAYS, what I wanted to ask is Im planning a buying a new pair of chips and wanted to stick w/ the Celermines because of my good luck with them (Had a pair of 333s before @ 550...), because of their low price ( < $100 for 733, only $130 for an 800), and so I wouldn't have to buy a new mobo for an AMD. (Using a P3V4X and have been very happy.) Im also on a budget. Which chip would all yall reccomend to break the magic 1G? I've got quality PC133 Ram that should have no probs at > 133, but I'd like to have a chip designed for 100 fsb so I have some breathing room to overclock knowing instabilities arn't being caused by the RAM- I can play with > 133 fsb after I've proven stability @ 133 fsb. Also, which design should I be getting/ which stepping architecture/ whatever? Also, Is the P3 a better overclocker? Ill shell out the extra cash, but cause I'm buying a pair I'd like to keep costs down.... My experience w/ the P3 was back w/ a 533 and I could only get it stable @ 600... my Celermine 533s are both at 800.
Thanx in advance for your suggestions!
