thunerbird or xp?

[vanibanez]

I was wondering, which do you guys recommend...the athlon 1.33ghz thunderbird or the athlon xp 1.4ghz.

thunderbird=$229
athlon xp=$249

I will soon be getting the asus a7v266-e with 512 mb ddr ram :)

hola van

if your motherboard supports it, go for the athlon xp!

and enjoooooy!

Unless those are canadian dollors or something that is a seriously bad deal. You should be able to get either one for under $120 USD.

I agree though, if you can go for the XP

O boy, easy one, XPXPXPXPXP. Xp 1500 for 108 on pricewatch, but the 1700 is only 20 bucks more, worth it imo. They faster, cooler, and did I mention faster? 250 dollars, you must be canadian or something, or your calculator is broken, hehe.

Agree with all of the above!:) If only my mobo would support the xp! :(

Just wait with the rest of us:o

XP, as my exitable fellow members above all agree.

Why?

Because XP's run faster and cooler (up to 20%) than T-birds. My XP1500 (1.33GHz) is running at 1.5GHz at the mo, simply by upping the FSB to 150, from 133. A 2C rise in CPU temp has been noted, so I'm running fine at 42C just now!

If you buy any AMD CPU, get a decent cooler.

Alpha PAL 8045 or a Glaciator 2 at least.......
