Building an AMD rig

[bvasu]

Hello,
I am thinking of building an AMD based PC. I want to go for a AMD XP 2500+ 333 fsb. and Biostar mobo. How can I overclock it ? Which Core should I buy ?

thx,

I'm not familiar with the Biostar board. I would recommend anything with a NF2 chipset, pref. an A7N8X Del or NF7-s v2. Both can be had for just over $100 now, both have the updated SB with SATA raid and Soundstorm audio, and both are overclocking beasts with the Barton cores. All of the late production cores should be good for 3200+ or faster speeds with good cooling. The stock HSF that AMD gives out blows but, the SK7 for $15.99 at SVC is more than sufficient cooling.

Try the CPU/Processors & Over-clockers forum. MILLIONS of posts on this over there.

The 2500XP Barton is an excellent chip. Check out the user responses from newegg alone.
