So, I have a venice 3000+ and wanna overclock n stuff.
So far the plan is to grab some g.skill ram
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...2E16820231024,N82E16820231021&SubCategory=147
off of newegg that's clocked at 2*250 mhz (pc4000) and grab a DFI nf4 sli board
Then the plan is to overclock my current 3000+, but i have the opportunity to sell my 3000+ for ~ 130 bux (if you think this isn't an accurate price plz lemme know) to a friend.
Think i should sell it and grab a 3200+ for not much more, or grab a dualcore cpu?
the 3200 has a 10x multiplier while mine has 9x.
So, if the ram runs at 250, i can increase the clock on the cpu to 250 and have them run in sync for maximum performance. the 10x multiplier will gimme an overclock of 10*250 = 2.5 ghz, while the 3000+ will give me 9*250 = 2.25 ghz.
What are the multipliers on the dual cores and 3500+ and other cpus?
Which one will gimme a lot of bang for my ram.
of course this is all assuming i cant get my ram to go past 250, which it probably will be able to, but no idea on how far.
this rig will primarily be used for gaming and compiling code.
