well my reason for upgrading to an xp is noise ...
my swifty + delta combo and the 4 sunon 50cfm case fans are the main reason i can run my 1.2 MP at 1.53. however, the damn computer sounds like a freaking jet engine .. i can't even talk on the phone and be next to the comp ... and don't even think about sleeping with the computer on.
i'm ditching the sunon's for some quiet ys tech fans at a way lower cfm. the swifty + delta combo will be replaced by a millenium glaciator.
with the aforementioned cooling, there is no way the MP will be stable at anything over 1.4 and since i've had it all the way to 1.53 i'd feel kinda cheap for running my system at less than what its capable of if u know what i mean. i ordered a xp1800 and hopefully i'll see 1700mhz AND a much much quieter computer.
i tolerated the delta and sunon's for a couple of months but alas, i want to keep my sanity.
