Okay... so it has to be cheap AND overclockable.

Any ideas between these three, which would be the best to overclock an older Duron in? (Think Spitfire)

I was parusing my favorite Refurb section.. and... well... here are the three things I found so far ... (If ANYONE has a cheap alternative, feel free to post it to me.)

K7N2 Delta2-LSR

CHAINTECH 7NIL1-SUMMIT

ALBATRON KX18DS Pro

Of those I'd choose the MSI for the extra mosfets & P4 power connector - especailly for OCing.

DL the manual from MSI to see what options are available in BIOS

I don't believe the Chaintech board has all BIOS options needed for good OCs

If a Shuttle AN35N Ultra ($32.00 -refurb) pops up again grab one - I have 3 of them - all run 225FSB unmodded.

Can't find the shutte board.. but that MSI doesn't look bad at all from the pdf I snagged.

Can anyone suggest any others? Maybe ones that are still available?

Mind you, this is for a Duron 700 that I want to push as high as possible (on air cooling first, since it's just a server tower) ...

They have AN35Ns $33.00 delivered @1:39PM EST grab one!!!!

Gak. I see this. God that check'd better get here so I can order one.

Balrog · 03-18-05, 02:02 PM

It'll take them til at least Monday to ship & you won't get it until Thur or Fri - you don't have a credit card to charge it on?

They will be gone quick as people buy them up & sell them on E-bay for $45.00

You might want to doublecheck @Shuttle to make sure it'll run a 700Mhz Duron

Hope you score one!

Good Luck!

Nah. Me and banks don't get along since the Bank of America incident.. (They suck by the way.)

But I should have some money Wednesday at the latest.. Or maybe I could convince my Uncle... Hmmmm...

Zero personal experience with those boards but I've heard good things about the Albatron. Just my 2 cents but look into it.
