would a 146 still be better than a 144 w/ a m/b that can do 320htt and my ram that can do only 215MHz? the reason i ask is because the 146s are getting harder to find for a decent price. 320htt x 9xmultiplier is still 2880MHz, but is it better to have more multiplier than htt?
be gentle, i have a had a p4 for some time and my last amd was a xp2000... and i really never o/ced, but probably will with these opterons.
i am in phx, az where my computer ambient room temp is 82-88F for 6mos and i would like to use stock hsf/V. how would one of these opterons @ 2.5GHz(which as stated earlier is probably no problem with these cpus, even the 144) compare to my p4 encoding xvid/dvds @ 3.0GHz?
