I just have to say goodbye to my fastest P4 on the sig... I receive an offer that I can´t say no
And decide to go back to AMD corner to see what I can get for a real cheap system, handpicked. Then I end with this (prices in Brazil):
ECS K7S5A: U$ 59,00
XP1600 AGOIA 4 0220: U$ 80,00 (duron prices now!)
El cheapo cooler: U$ 11,00
El cheapo DDR 266 128mb: U$ 30,00
The only mod needed was the cpu mod for 1,85v. Then I ended at 166mhz fsb, 1750mhz for just 180 bucks.... that´s the price just for P4 mobo here.
I´ll benchmark it today and send the result for Shark, to see what it can do, but I think with 1750mhz and 2.2k memory score in sandra 2002, it will do fine... perhaps in the top 10 timers.
