Here's what I have now:
Abit BE6-II BX motherboard
P3 1ghz @ 1.33ghz
512mb PC133
Gainward Ti4200 GF4
Maxtor 60gb HD
As you can see, I have my BX motherboard maxed out and its time to upgrade. I am looking at upgrading to an Nforce2 board with an XP+ processor. Unfortunately, I have never used an AMD system. I try to keep up with it on the boards, but I am unsure about which XP chip to choose based on O/C'ability and performance.
I want a chip that can be O/C'd pretty far, but I wouldn't mind paying a little extra to get a faster chip. IE, I wouldn't mind paying extra for a 2000+ instead of getting a slower chip and O/C'ing to 2000+ speeds. However, I don't want to limit my overclocking by getting a particular CPU.
Here is what I am currently looking at:
Chaintech 7NJS Nforce2 MB (yeah I know its expensive, but it has features that the other boards don't)
Corsair CMXPC3200, CAS2, 256mb x 2 (to take advantage of the increase in bandwidth)
????? XP processor
What XP chip would you suggest?
