Best bang/buck AMD XP CPU at present ?

[greenhorne]

What's the best bang for the buck AMD cpu now. XP1800 or XP200 or others?

AthlonXP 2000

Yes, I'd have to say the XP1800+.
Use pricegrabber.com.

Right now a retail boxed 1800+ is going for $84.
I have a friend who has his overclocked to 2100+.

If you want to pay $27 more get a 1900+ for $111 (retail of course) and overclock it to 2200+.
The reason I am only giving you retail prices is #1 those are the best to get because you get a warranty and #2 the price between the retail/oem is not significant enough right now IMHO.

If you want suggestions on motherboards, ram, heatsinks and fans, etc. just tell me so.

The best value right now is the AGOIA and AROIA XP 1600+ like what they have @ newegg.com, people have been ocing them over 1.8 GHz with only air cooling. Here's a link to that thread: Link.

If you OC.. grab a 1600+ from newegg... 2100+ speeds for $65.. I tossed mine in my MB, cranked it to 166 FSB, didnt even unlock it... 1750Mhz with default voltage.

i'm not ordering anything else from newegg
i know i am stupid, but they are stupider
first and last deal today, this is why i hate ordering online
how is this chaintech deal? i'm not going to find a p3/cel 1.1 soon for this price. thanks in advance

I agree with the others. Go with the 1600+ and crank up the fsb. You can easily o/c this to 2200+ (1.8Ghz) wiithout unlocking it. Newegg is the deal.

I'm doing 150/150 1.58ghz right now with cheapo cooling 42C, default voltage on my 1600+

I've got a AGOIA 1700+ @ 1.83 Gig 11x167 takes 1.95v's to get it stable but only running 109F with it loaded

Newegg now has the 1600+ XP at $60 including shipping.

Yeah yet another vote for the XP 1600. Recieved an AGOIA 1600 two weeks ago, just started cranking up FSB yesterday and now it's running at 1.54Ghz on a 147FSB (faster than XP 1800). Thing is, it's not even breaking a sweat! Just hope my memory can keep up now.
