is 49 bucks a deal on an 1800 xp oem??

is 49 bucks a good price on a 1800 xp oem,found one ,newegg ,in clearance,does it take to ocing

I don't know, aren't the newer ones not as good? What's wrong with your Barton?

nothing wrong with it,runnin a little hot,but its not been oced yet,till I put water to it.jusy gettin the stuff for another box is all,same mobo though,but its a refurb

Just like any other AMD chip, it depends on the stepping and week. If it's a DLT3C Thoroughbred "B", and of a recent week, but not new enough to be locked, then it's a great deal

If it's a Thoroughbred "A", or a DUT3C "B" chip then it isn't worth buying. Unfortunately newegg doesn't share the detailed specifics with us, so it's a shot in the dark if you order this processor.

Is the gamble worth $49 for you?

well,now that you mention it putting an 1800 in the next mobo is kinda useless,guess a 2500 mobile for 50 bucks more is cheap horsepower
