K guys here is the Dilemma
I have a 754 3000 chuggin along at a 2.46 gig clip...not great but not bad.
In games there is little advantage to getting dual channel so I would have to seriously get a major overclock...like 2.7 to make it somewhat worth my while.
Now there is the X2 so unless I am going to multitask what is a poor upgrader to do?
I have considered the 90nm 64bit semprons and overclock the begeezers out of it, but that just doesn't have the appeal I need.
I also have a X 800 AIW that runs 530/570 all day long and the only thing somewhat compelling is the GTX because for the money difference the FPS difference just isn't worth the cash. I have had this for over 5 months...I am bored...but what is a cheap overclocker to do without a complete makeover...and for what?? A little more performance for tons of cash...BAH I say!
Point me in the right direction guys!
Oh yeah...I ordered a DTR 3000 off newegg for 120 for something fun to try...who knows. I will post my results when done. My DFI only goes about 285ish anyway so we will see how that goes because that would be 2.55 but the extra cache does help a bit...just not in games. It isn't a complete loss if I get no higher since I have another 754 motherboard laying around.
