Newegg.com has the Athlon XP 1800+ OEM for $165, but the 1700+ is only $127! Is the extra 66MHZ really worth the extra $38??
 
Hey! after doing a little research by comparing anandtechs and tomshardwares review on the athlon XP, the 1700, 1800, and 1900 perform extremely close to each other. The 1800 is only like 4-5 frames faster in Quake 3 than 1700! COOL! IM GOING WITH THE 1700+!
 
divide the clock speed by the price and find the one which is the least amount of money per megahertz. thats the one you should get 🙂

a 66mhz diff wont be noticeable, and 133 wouldnt either.
