Posted: 10/16/05 - 19:45 Post subject: CPU Upgrade
|
|
|
I want to upgrade my tired XP 2100+, but I don't want to invest in a new motherboard and ram and all that other stuff that comes with a complete upgrade.
I have 1.5Gb of PC2100 (333Mhz), so I was looking into the best processor for my setup.
My conclusion was a Barton 3200+ (AXDA3200DKV4D) that clocks at 2333 Mhz with a 14x multiplyer. I got this information from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Athlon_XP_microprocessors.
But, when I search for this elsewhere, everyone says it's only 2167Mhz, which is inline with the 3000+.
Is the wiki entry wrong? I cannot find any technical information on any XP processors from AMD's website.

can you (or anyone for that matter) tell me the amount of difference between 2167 and 2333mhz?
first smartass to reply "166mhz" wins a free t-shirt.
