Best Shuttle XPC SSF for overclocking?

[Antoneo]

Hrmm, I was wondering what Shuttle XPC is best for overclocking an AMD Athlon XP mobile and an Intel 2.4C chips.

Are ATI RS300 northbridges any good or am I better going with an Intel chipset? I don't ask about the AMD because there's only nForce2 🙂.

It's "SFF" -> "Small Form Factor". Anyway, the best Shuttles for overclocking are the P series or the G2 series.

i have an sn41g2 version 2 and i love it. i am using a mobile 2400+ at 3200 speeds no problem and it's lower volted as well so it runs pretty cool.

Sucks, the p and g2's are more expensive and a black case means more money going out of my wallet. Grr...

yeah getting a shuttle set me back about 100 bucks more than going with a normal tower but i enjoy the shuttle so much. the sff is the way to go for me now. i can bring it home from college in a duffel bag and my lcd in my other hand. and also everyone loves to look at the small pc 🙂

Which XPC models were you originally looking at getting?

I was originally looking at the SN41G2V3B <- black case, until I noticed that newegg and mwave were selling them at around $285-$290. If I buy a mobile Athlon XP 2500+ for $85, the total cost for a Shuttle XPC and the chip would be about $370, I'm better off getting either a P4 2.4C ($100 used?) and the ST61G4B ($212) or a A64 2800+ ($120 I think) and a SN85G4LV2 ($220).

If you really want to overclock, go with the intel 2.4c.
