I am trying to decide which Athlon XP to buy, the 1800 or the 1900. I can get the 1800 for $125 or the 1900 for $165. Which do you think is the better deal, and why?

*This is a private sale, so this isn't a deal thats available online... I would just like to know your opinion on which one seems to be the best deal. Thanks for your advice!

I personally think the 1800+ is a better buy as there is very little difference in speed between the two.

40.00 for 70MHz doesn't seem like a good deal to me. However, the XP1800+ should o/c to 1.6GHz+ very easily.

1800+, no question. I just got one the other day and am slowly upping the FSB, I'm up to 140 with stock cooling. 1900+ is a waste IMO.

Save the money, go with the 1800+, it seems to overclock very nicely and the extra cash in the pocket is always nice.
