PIII 800 or Athlon 900?

[DrAgOn007]

I have the choice of either an 800 PIII fcpga on a asus cusl2-c mainboard or an Athlon 900 200mhz fsb on a Asus av7133. What should I get? Which one is better for overclocking and what can you overclock them too?

Athlon All the Way, It will last you alot longer and the mobo will give you alot of speed for years to come, The P3 wont last as long. and tha Athlon is a better overclocker, my Duron is oced at 950 right here and its as stable as a rock.

For 110% sure the Athlon.

The Athlon 900 will perform better by default, AND if you decide to overclock that Athlon 900 then 1ghz or 1.1ghz are within your grasp, making the Athlon beat the P3 800 by and even greater margin.
