I decided to go for overkill and went with the HHC-001. Good or bad idea? The AS3 is already drying on it and the CPU...

Hey everyone, I just got my AGOIA 1600+ today, and am ready to try it out. I plan on leaving the CPU locked for now, and just pusing the FSB a little at a time, hoping for around 1800+ speeds for now. I need a sink/fan that isn't too loud (Planned on the Coolermaster HHC-001, but it's too loud)...

I'd like someone to unlock mine too! :) I usually screw up things like this... :o

I did the PM at the Santa Clara CompUSA. Now if only I could find the rebate...

First of all, I would like to clarify everything with the Micro Center ad. It is confirmed that that is a typo. I have checked the store a few times about it and confirmed that the $149.99 is for the 2MB cache version, not the 8MB. Anyway... Here's my CompUSA Santa Clara Hard Drive tale... I...

Just want to mention that I heard someone recently pulled off a pricematch to the CompUSA after rebate price at the Bay Area Frys, and Frys now has the 8MB version for $129.99 for today (I believe, not confirmed). As for me, I currently pulled off a PM from Micro Center to CompUSA and got the...

That's one nice MB... looks like it might even hit past 2200+ performance with a bit of good RAM and a watercooled system. I'll consider it. A balance of performance is good though... the computer will be aircooled the whole time, I have no plans on watercooling. :) Any other suggestions on what...

Well, if you want to get technical, the Sony 40x is a pretty decent deal in itself, as I hear it's upgradable to 48x. This is done at Office Depot... Sony CRX195A1 40x12x48x Internal ATAPI CD-RW Drive $79.94 (pricematch to Staples Website) - $20 off $50 coupon = $59.94 - $20 MIR = $39.94 + tax

Staples is usually good about accepting copies of the UPC if there's a manufactuer rebate involved. To be on the safe side, be sure to include a note mentioning the Maxtor rebate in the envelope... Eh, you would have figured they'd take that out of the fine print of their rebates after so many...

Oops, let me rephrase what I said... I meant that I've read stories about people not being able to OC the AGOIA core past 150fsb on the GA-7VRXP. I'm pretty sure you could even hit 200fsb on some mobos. Anyway, anyone have any suggestions on what I should replace this Gigabyte with? I need...

Newegg seems to be carrying the AGOGA steppings of the 1900+. At $103, it's not that great of a deal, but just thought I should mention it. Anyone know how this chip compares to the 1600+? AMD Athlon 1900+ AGOGA

My OD ad today (Bay Area) says $2.99 after $12 Mail-In Rebate...

I don't know much about OCing, and I think I just made a huge mistake. I picked up the GA-7VRXP and I have it right here in my hands, with the 1600+ supposedly arriving soon. I've been reading stories about people not being able to OC the AGOIA even past 150fsb. Is this true? I still have time...

ok, call me an idiot, but i've finally decided to upgrade my aging PII-400 rig. i plan to do it piece by piece, starting with MB/CPU/RAM. this is offtopic, but i figured people here would know the answer since there have been posts talking about OCing the 1600 on this thread. i plan to order the...
