300 dollars to spend

[gururu]

I have 300 dollars to spend
I'm thinking processor. Any ideas on which P4 (2.53, 2.66, or 2.8GHz) will take me to 3GHz with
the biggest bang for the buck (I have an abit BG7)?

what would you buy? Should I wait and buy a hyperthreading supportive mobo?

thanks,

gururu

The 2.4B for $165 is the best bang for the $$.

Save about $100 and watch 3Ghz melt... 😀

LOL!!! get that 2.4b as oldfart suggested and hit 3.2 to 3.4ghz and I doubt any 1700+tbred is getting to that level of performance...can that board do 180fsb??? agp/pci lock???

Then by all means save the cash and wait for the springdales that are rumored to be much cheaper then their lame siblings the granite bays....

you obviousily havent done much reading lately. Those TBreds are ocing like crazy! Yeah and springdale and precott will be priced anywhere near 300 dollars. Right! I suggest this guy get either a Barton 2500 or a TBred 2100+.
