What is the best ocing amd chip?

[Onkyo]

ok i want to what is the best coing chip under $250, for amd if you are goign to say the xp mobiles i already have a 2500 is there anything better then the mobiles? please let me know . thanks guys for all your help.



spec info below if you need it .

 

[Gautam]

Mobile 2600+ maybe?

For $250, you could pull off an A64 setup...

 

[Onkyo]

which a64 would you reccommend? if possible could you add a link to it ?

and are the a64's ocable?

 

[Yuriman]

Athlon64's oc pretty well. A 2800+ runs at 1.8ghz, and you can usualy pull 2.4ghz out of them with good air cooling. Of course, the motherboards a pretty expensive right now, and because you can only raise the multiplier, not lower it, you have to have realy good ram to overclock anything under a 3200+ to the max.

would my nf7-s 2.o work for the a64 chips ? like the chip gautam has ? or would i need a whole new board?

 

[dead_man311]

You need a whole new board the NF7-S is a socket A and the 64's a dif

[dead_man311]

The Best socket A , ive seen a Mobile 2500 at 3.2Ghz and that was the fastest ive ever seen

so basically i need to find a good stepping for a 2500 or 2600 ? lol damn thought i could just buy a better chip lol.

 

[dead_man311]

Not really , that XP 3200 is gonig to be locked and dont really clock much ( 2.3 to 2.4 average )

 

[Onkyo]

ahhhhh so i should just find a 2600 then . thanks for the info , think the one at excaliber with the stepping of 352 would od any good and it is a iq not aq

You Have a good 2500 there at 2585Mhz. but you can do a search for some thread with results of dif. Steppings of the mobile 2400's , 2500's , and 2600's Good luck

I got a 2600 from excaliber and it does 2.5ghz with 1.65v. I wouldnt want your money though. Save up for a new A64 and board.
