1600+ OC to a 2200+...how does this work?

Brunt · Sep 11, 2002

Ok...I read that a 1600+ is the equivilant to a pent 1.6ghz...
If you OC a 1600 to say a 2200 or a 1900, is it the same as a 2.2 or a 1.9??

I am assuming so, because AMDs seem faster at lower speeds because it can do more per clock cycle, is that correct? So a 1600+ OC to a 1900+ would be like a pent 1.9 ghz.

I am NOT going to OC my CPU again..I am just curious of how that would work...

yes, you are for the most part correct.

when overclocked to those speeds, the PR rating is equivalnt
to around the same p4.

but when you use a lower multi, and higher FSB, the PR rating
may exceed that of 133 XP's.

say you have a 1600+ at 10.5 x 133
this si equiv to around a p4 1.6

now if you had the same 1.4 at 7 x 200, then the PR would
probably be a bit higher, as we are seeing this with the new
166fsb XP's.

hope this helps

Mine right now can beat out a p4 2.4 ghz in almost every benchmark

yes, certainly! That is about the best 50 dollars i ever invested..!!

when mine was at 1.95, it was as fast as a 2.6 ghz p4....so thats pretty sweet

I will admit that I like knowing that my XP1600 is running at speeds that meet or exceed the cpus that both AMD and Intel are releasing now

At least before they get overclocked it does.....

Brunt · Sep 12, 2002

Well alright then....I guess I am going with the 1600+ then! Thanks

yep my 1600+ runs at 2ghz thats a 600mhz overclock on air so I can just imagine what AMD has to come next....67 dollars well spent...

1600+ OC to a 2200+...how does this work?
