What should I get

[Avg]

I just some money today and I wanted to get either more memory (+512) or one of those mobile xp, right now I have a tbred-a at 2.153mhz and I was wondering which one is going to be the best way to spend my money.

Thanks

What do you do with your computer?
Is it ram or cpu intensive?

If you sell your old cpu, getting a mobile will be much cheaper.
I would get that.

I'd spend my money on a mobile chip if I was you.

We've been noticing that 2400+ mobiles have 'only' been doing 2.4 GHz lately.

Consider 2500+ and 2600+ mobiles instead.

2600+s have been hitting 2.7 GHz this month, but they do cost a bit more...

but does his motherboard support mobile cpus?

if it does, i'd go with the mobile 2600

I've seen Bartons run on his board so he's OK as far as compatibility goes.

He doesn't have a PCI lock so he needs those unlocked multis that mobiles offer.

It's an nforce2 board so I do have the pci lock. What I do really that stresses my computer the most is playing games, but sometimes i'll watch a movie listen to music but no encoding or anything of the sort. And i want the best performance in the long run cause I will not be upgrading anytime soon.

I'd say go with the 2600+M because i ahve the same heatsink and it is actually very good so u could hit good speeds with that :]

After some thought about this and I think I'll be also getting a new mobo, since I want this system to last a couple of years without any upgrade. I know that everyone says that the nf7-s is the best board so I would like to know more about it, like features and what cames with it ( raid, ethernet, sound). I'm pretty sure I'll be getting the 2600+m.
Now I was thinking of selling all of this stuff that I'll be replacing like the mobo and the cpu and I would like of an opinion to see how much I should sell this suff for, mobo is a GigaByte Triton K7 Ga-7N400-L1 which I got from ebay for $80 something last september and the processor is a Athlon XP 2200+ Tbred-A that I got last january for $53 plus shipping.

Cant go wrong with XP-M 2600 .
me => nf7 v.2 ( being cheap and broke )

=> 225 x 11 ( more to go but should way for PS arrives)
