Hi everyone, i just got in on a deal in the "hot deals" forum. A abit kv8 + AMD 64 2800+ + Far Cry (PC Game) all for 223 which includes shipping. I have looked all around for how well the AMD 64 2800+ overclocks and i really haven't found that much. I guess my question is how much has everyone been able to overclock this processor? I know the via chipset on this board limits it because of no agp lock but im hoping i can at least get the processor to 2ghz.
Oh btw...i now have an AMD XP 2100+ overclocked to a 2600+ I forgot what my FSB is but if i remember correctly its in the 160's...maybe 163. Do you guys think purchasing the amd 64 2800+ was a wise choice? Do you think im going to see much improvement Here was my thinking...this processor is on the low end of the socket 754 boards so i have lots of improvement to go without upgrading my whole system. All the way up to a AMD FX-53 currently. I wish i could have afforded one of the socket 939 board and processors but im not going to spend 400+ on just a processor now.
Anways thanks for your time,
