I dont want to spend $200 on a 2400+ so was wondering if the 2200+ has matured enough to the point where decent overclocking can be expected ?
Thanks

hhmmm well i dunno.i can easily do 2ghz with mine.11.5x174 at the moment.ive done higher.i can go higher but i need better parts.200mhz oc.
my chip can run 180 fsb no prob.i dont have heat problems as bad as people have stated.price isnt bad.its a ok chip.
only other option i can say is the xp1600 can get 1800-2000 sometimes with reall good equipment.plus the 1600 is $55!
if you are just getting started id say the 1600 is the wayto go.ive been doing this a year or 2 so i think i can deal with the problems of the 2200 a little easier.
ive seem benches of people here running 1600's that score as high as mine.little more time ill leave em behind me,but new parts cost money and take time

I already have a 1600 that i can get to around 1750 but was hoping that the 2200+ could get beyond 1900 or 1950 without a sweat. Most of of components are OC friendly already

u wont even have to wait for the 2800+ barton, just go for a 2400 when they drop in price, they will oc well as they have the tbred b core.

Personally I would go for the 2800+ or 3000+ supposidly coming out in the first quarter of 2003 "January" 2800+ is around Xmas. I would get a 1600+ from www.newegg.com for now oc that , easy 1800mhz+ on air. Then I would grab the 2800 or 3000+ . Just so you don't wind up feeling bad like me. Going out and buying a 1600+ then trying a 2200+ which is takes alot of burning in for the 2200. Then you realise the 2400+ just came out an gets 2.4ghz on air which is nutz. Just think how the 2800 and 3000 are gona be eh? 3000+ look at around 3.1Ghz on air

i am not changing my 1750mhz cpu till barton comes out and if you have any cpu with around the same speed i suggest that you do the same or even wait till mid next year for hammer.
i mean what is there that needs stuff so fast? photoshop runs great w/ this speed you just need a fast FSB.
save your money and get a 1600+ and then invest more $$$ on your Ram and motherboard (those nforce 2 boards look niceeee if they ever come out)

1750 mhz isnt bad. Im running about the same speeds. I would just wait for the bartons to come out in a few months, and get them. Save up for the good stuff.

Having not long built the new rig I'm also waiting for Barton before upgrading - when it becomes 'bargin basement'.
Wouldn't overclocking of the 2200 be limited anyway as they had to change the design to get the 2400.

Unless you have money to burn I personally dont see any point in upgrading if you already have an XP until at least the Barton comes out or possibly even the Clawhammer (where a full upgrade will be required) supposing AMD lasts that long!
