duron 1.6@2.2 at 3200+ performance

[theguywiththeha]

could this be real a 30dollar chip with the performance of a 200chip

hmm maybe with the 3200+ you could get like 4600+:D....lol

[MameXP]

Thats just the benchmark not real life performance.

The extra cache will be needed in diff programs so it depends.

[theguywiththeha]

yea but still 30bucks compard to alot what do those run like 200bucks

[The Coolest]

It doesn't matter, if you do a real world benchmark between the two processors, like running UT2k3/4 you will definatly see a difference.

[theguywiththeha]

where do i get that?

its funny right now i just ran 3dmark2k1 and i have a exstension on my mouse cable it came unpluged i thought my comp crashed...lol

[The Coolest]

UT2k3/4 is Unreal Tournament 2003 or 2004, these are PC games. The full UT2k4 is supposed to hit store sheleves this monday, for now we only got the demo. UT2k3 was one of the most popular games in the last year

[theguywiththeha]

where can i get the demo

[The Coolest]

just google for it. not too hard.

[warlock110]

yep, the extra cache will be the difference. unless u can hit 2.5 ghz then u can even it out :). but raw clock speed like that means that when it converts media, it'll be just as fast as an XP3200 because converting media require just raw speed, no cache needed.

[AL Romero]

hey guys i think his point is wow look at the performance for the dollar he spent. and this is exactly why i got 2 duron myself. there is nothing on the planet that has a better bang for the buck.

[dead_man311]

ya those durons are a very good bang for the buck, i build my sister a 1.3Ghz duron system before, it wasnt a rocking gaming system but it was pertty fast. and it got rid of her 1.1Ghz cel. she was renting from rent a center at $50 a week

[theguywiththeha]

that was my point the biggest bang for your buck and im going to try 2.5 when i get a nforce 2 board and and ddr400 at least :D

[dead_man311]

wow 2.5 thats wicked, good luck on it

[theguywiththeha]

i need a better heatsink any recomended ones? mines is a coolermaster aero 7 lite i cant get water cooling because if i get that why didnt i just buy a faster chip in the first place..lol

and i do convert media video capturing and covert to dvd compatible format

and i used to use celey 1.4tualatin and 512mbspc100 for that job oh that was a bad exsperiance:S 10-12hours for a 1hours 20min of video :S

[dead_man311]

id sugest a thermalright heatsink , either a SLK-900A, SLK-947 SP-97 and a nice 92mm fan

[theguywiththeha]

thanks i will check on that:D

[dead_man311]

if yuo got anymore qustions feel free to ask, there are tons of ppl here willing to help

Take
Care

[dumbfish]

now arent the durons locked? i have the 200 fsb duron i was gonna get rid of it.

[theguywiththeha]

morgan or spitfire core? i think the spitfire you can do the pencil trick to unlock i realy dont know about the morgan i think that one was a little more hard

[dumbfish]

morgan core

[theguywiththeha]

if you search aound i think there was a pencil and knife you had to do to unlock it if its not factory unlocked ill try to fin where i saw it

[dumbfish]

ok but if you answer my chip post that would be twice as useful.
which chip do i buy (right now at new egg) for my 400fsb biostar m7ncd (with no voltage settings) for under $100 ??????

[The Coolest]

Mobile 2400+/2500+ hands down

[dumbfish]

well it be unlocked? crapper the 2400 vs 2500 have different voltages
i wonder which one for my board

[The Coolest]

Both chip are completely unlocked, and will default to x6 multiplier

they both have the same voltage, newegg just has a typo on the 2500+, they both should achieve about the same speed as well. Also upping the voltage using wire tricks ain't so difficult either, I used it to trick my ASUS mobo to give me more volts as it only allows 0.2v over stock.
The mobile chip on a desktop board will default to 1.575v and not the stated 1.45v as the meanings of voltage settings by the bridges is different on mobile/desktop platforms.

get two identical size sticks of RAM
you won't be able to run dual channel properly with the ram you chose.
I would also definatly recommend a better drive, samsungs are the crappiest optical drives I've ever seen.
Get a Toshiba or Lite-On, Lite-Ons are cheap and are awesome quality.

[dumbfish]

the ram is for resale as is the drive but the chip is for me. !!
but your right i do need to buy a set of ram someday
