Most Overclockable AMD cpu?

[desoca]

Hi folks,

I know that there are a lot of gurus out there. )

I intened to build a second system, so I was wondering which MHz AMD would give you the most bang for the buck.

And more importantly, is there a certain batch number or some detail to lookout for when buying.

Thanks in advance for all input.

The slowest possible cpu will yield the best % o/c

Therefore, probably a Duron 600.

$50 for a duron 600 that is usually good for a GHZ from what I here,Is a nice "bang for the Buck"

TBird 750 blue core, TBird 1.2gig unlocked, or a Duron 600 or 800.

I rember some place was welling blue 650 thunderbirds that were hitting 1100+. Sorry i can't remeber where

I was kinda leaning to 750 Tbird blue core, but I am not sure how to tell it IS a blue core.

When you put a light onto it you'll see the blue shine to it, compared to a darkish green one.

On the backside I guess - thanks.

Right on the top of the CPU core. It's in the middle, when the pins are facing down.

Thanks a bunch GT - I think the 750 may be the deal.

Probably together with an ASUS A7V133
