Hi all...I've been away from the forums for a bit so I'm a little outdated.
So my bestfriend is getting a new system..and like usual..she don't care what she gets as long as it works and I get all the better hardware while she gets what I've finished using.
So basically, its more like i'm getting a upgrade.
I'm using whats on my sig right now... and thinking about getting the 2500+ Barton for me while she gets what I have. Is the 2500+ going to out perform my setup right now? What is the best stepping for it? Is there anywhere known to sell this stepping, like excaliburpc? Additionally what is the best mobo out there right now..is it still the Abit NF7-S?
The only probably with giving my chip to her is that she probably won't buy additional cooling for it and the fact that her case is really cramped in space. Its a really small cutesy case that she refuses to get rid of...meaning that its potential will go to waste. What speeds do you think will be able to run on stock cooling with my 1800+.
