I got myself a Socket A Duron Model 3 Spitfire, looked up the info's on cpuworld and its got 200 mhz bus freq., 1.6v , 950 clock speed. I am asking evry1 to suggest d-best mobo to o/c it. Pulled it off a presario 4300 that my neice have been using for school work and I'd like to build it up for her ASAP
 
Abit's NF7-S is a good one... Epox's 8RDA+ was a good one... my Asus A7N8X Deluxe has been good to me for 2 years now...
 
thnx Jeff, did a bit of search on Asus mainly becuz my 2 boards r from them, p4c 800-e dlx has been good to me, not been able to put 2gether a8n sli and winnie 3200+ cuz of this new challenge but I am sooooo excited to do this so winnie have 2 wait
 
For a cpu of that value, I'd suggest the Shuttle AN35N Ultra. They can be bought for about $50 new, and Newegg has them 'refurbed' for even less. I am running 2 of them right now.

BTW: I am not trying to insult... I just don't see the point in spending $70+ on a Asus or Abit board for a chip of that value. The Shuttle still has all of the NF2 goodness, is a sweet O/C'er, and has a 'budget' price. Good luck whatever you do.

Edit for Type-O....
 
no offense taken, I agree on the value side, it seems that the asus no matter where I look it woul cost me 100 clams or more for it, thanx a lot man, I'll try the Shuttle
 
The Duron spitfire core has aluminum interconnects, the very best of them top out at 1150MHz, 1000MHz is more common.

You won't get much more speed out of that, the best you can do is lower the multiplier and raise the fsb for a nice improvement over the stock 200MHz.
 
I suspected that, reading a lot of the forums on the how to's of oc'ng memory and such I planned to do it that way and I think it should suffice for my niece's schoolwork. I took deadken's recom. and bought a Shuttle on ebay for 35 used and I hope its not DOA
 
Don't know if you guys are interested but I finally got this Spitfire on a AN35N mobo. I used the same heatsink from the old mobo, just the heatsink and it never had any fan to cool it. I am able to oc it at 1094 or somethig seems somewhat stable considering that the heatsink aint' got no fan at all. It is also a good experience for me for I do not have any knowledge on an AMD overclock. I played with it a bit and rouge 1979 is right on the money, anything above 1150 won't boot up. I was going to get a better cooling but I think I'll just settle with what I got achieved. It's only for my kniece to play with on the net. But I'll play with it more before I hand it to her.
