    The Be-All & End-All A64 RAM Article

    THe review clearly shows that the DDR 600 outperforms DDR400 memory.... Thats a given... Major flaw in the comparision chart is that they dont have a DDR500 2-2-2 comparison which is much more common for overclockers using BH-5/UTT Ram.

    All applications can take advantage of 1mb of Cache over 5412k. Thats just a bigger chunk of data the CPU can process from its memory. Since 3700's are clocking just as high, if not higher, than a 3800, the 300+ wins hands down. No "Rumor" needed.

    Venice Overclock

    Your not using the Motherboard header to power those fans are you? THe larger fans need to be powered by a PSU lead... Otherwise youcan easily overload the motherboard power connector and cause the fan tospin slow and/or stop.

    Sempron 754 vs Athlon XP Mobile Combo

    The ONLY heatsink you might have trouble with on some boards is the Thermalright XP-120. Everything else fits within AMD's guidelines (And actually, the 120 does as well... But some motherboard manufactureres dont quite follow the guideline to the "T") Thats said, I would stay away from...

    Sempron 754 vs Athlon XP Mobile Combo

    Most Newegg Refurbs are OEM White-Box components. WHich means they definatly do NOT come with all the cables, plates, and associated retail Box parts. Usually not a big deal for folks that have lots of parts lying around (like me) but could be an issue for some.

    128k vs 256k cache of Sempron Skt 754

    THe extra 128k is NOT a huge benefit... Nowhere near an "Extra 200mhz" maybe 50..... MAYBE..... I've extensively tested Sempron 754s... and found the 2600+ to be the very best bang for the buck....

    Is it worth it to overclock an AMD 64 2800+?

    I've got this Processor with a GIgabyte K8NS-Pro. Overclocking has been good so far. Has run stable all the way up to 2.2Ghz while underclocking my memory. Just need to find out how to unlock the multiplier on this Chip.
