Hey all, I'm hew here and this is my first post. What I've read so far throughout all the forums here have been incredibly helpful, but I still have a question regarding the Athlon 64s.
I'm on an incredibly tight budget, and I'm looking to build a PC with a 64. The 3200+ isn't an option because it's too expensive. Ideally, the 2800+ is what I'd get, but if the performance and overclocking ability difference between the 2800+ and 3000+ is enough, I suppose I'd be able to squeeze that in instead.
So that's my question, is the 3000+ really that big of a difference from the 2800+ (or is it nothing a little overclocking can't even out...?), and how overclockable are the two chips?
Thanks!
