TBird 2100 or 2400?

[Caveman]

All I've been hearing about is what a great O/C'er that the TBird B 2100XP is... How about the 2400? Here's an article...

Is it correct to assume that a 2400 should O/C higher than a 2100 or will they both tend to fail at the same clcok setting... Not sure I understand the relationship of the nominal clock speed with a chips overall potential...

you will be in or around the same ballpark withe ither cpu
its just 2100+ is much cheaper lol

i would suggest 2100+, they will both max out around the same spot (btw its TBred, not TBird)

I've had both the 2400+ and 2100+, and the 2100+ consistently overclocked to 2.28ghz (using 3 different chips), with the 2400+ just edging mine out at 2.32ghz. Not worth it for the money though.

yeah
kinda like "same sh*t, different pile"

where,
sh*t=overclock
pile=amount of money you spend

yep they're supposed to overclock very similarly, which makes the 2100+ tbred a much better deal.
