Hello,
I'm a fairly new member of the the Anandtech group, but have been coming here for information for quite some time now.
Anyway, I'm in the process of building myself a new PC and pretty have everything except for a HDD and CPU. My motherboard is an Asus A7N8X Deluxe and I just purchased 512Mb of Kingston PC2700 HyperX memory. I know the memory isn't the best I could have bought, but money is a big issue and from what I read, it seemed as thought the HyperX line was a decent one.
Now, the real question I have... With the above configuration will I be able to overclock a XP1700 to a satisfactory speed? Or, would it be better to invest a little more money and get the XP2100? I plan on playing games with this PC.
Also, I noticed most everyone specifing the date codes on their processors. For the two above processors, which date codes have been overclocking better?
Thanks for any advice,
Scott
