nice results! temps look fine to me

3000+ newcastles and DFI mobos overclock nice.... 2.4 Ghz shouldnt be a problem

what about cool'n'quiet & NX is c'n'q the same as powernow?

I dont think the 3400+ 64 OCs well cuz its nearer to the peak of the newcastle line, but im sure it can go a couple hundred Mhz faster easily, but i doubt +400-500 Mhz overclocks. Look into the board i got, Asrock Combo-Z, good for 754s and 939s. Definitely worth the look.

youll definitely be able to use that ram while you overclock

stick with the amd64 if youre a gamer.

CPU-Z

socket 939 winchesters are recommended so you can upgrade the chip later. Theyre all excellent chips in general though.

yeah, the 2800+ 64 seems to be able to achieve the same overclocking speeds as an overclocked 3000+...around 2.4Ghz in most cases, there are exceptions in the OC world, of course. So that said....2800+ is a good deal. I'd say in a non-OCing perspective...the 3000+ is the best bang for the buck...

newcastles rock

LOL

noob!

strange.... you definitely have the hardware to achieve 2.5 speeds i got mine to 2.5 from straight fsb to 250 and dropping ram default speed to 166 Mhz @ 1T.

the cheap wooden ones are good for single usage... only the koreans use the thin metal ones
