Unlocking 1800+ XP Palamino: Is it worth it?

[jediphx]

ok I was wondering if A: it is relatively easy to unlock my 1800+ XP (AGOIA) and how would I do it. B: Is it worth it in the long run? Thx

Yes and yes. Easy to do, and because it's free, worth it.

If you want more speed, and less hassle, get a T-Bred B. They overclock far higher (2.3 Ghz is EASY on a 2100+ AIUHB), and they are relatively cheap. I've seen people take the XP 1800 to just over 1800 mhz, with good cooling.

a Tbred B 1700+ or a Barton 2500+ are also good choices for overclocking
