Which Athlon XP to Get? (On Newegg, Today)

[Rip the Jacker]

ANANDTECH, YOU CHOOSE MY PROCESSOR. FIRST TO 20 AND I BUY

If you are going to recommend me a 754 or a 939, please don't. I know you want to, but please don't. Try your best to resist it. I have everything prepared and I want it next week.

The motherboard that will seat this is a Asus A7N8X Deluxe.

The heatsink I will be using is a Zalman CNPS7000A AlCu.

[*]Which of these processors would provide the BEST OVERCLOCKING EXPERIENCE?
[*]Is there that much of a difference in performance when comparing MOBILE to DESKTOP?
[*]Would 35W be that much cooler as compared to 45W?

Isn't there supposed to be a 2200+ 35W for ~$77? That's what I got, and it works great! It seems that with the mobiles, higher ratings don't necessarily indicate a better quality core, so I just got the cheapest mobile 🙂

2500+ mobile. Dang, if a locked 2500+ OEM costs $86, I wonder how much my sealed retail unlocked 2500+ 0313 will go for.

More opinions needed...

 

[MDE]

Either the 35W 2400+ or the Mobile 2500+

 

[coejus]

2500+ Mobile. Better with the power requirements and unlocked multiplier goodness.

OMG GET A S754 OR 939 DOOD THEIR LEETZ0R!

 

[Rip the Jacker]

Bah.

I'll try to get on off Anandtech and if I can't, then OFF to EGG

 

[imported_Molasses]

2600+ Mobile. Only $8 different and there might be some reason it's rated higher.

Add Mobile XP 2600 to the list. It is easily the best of the mobile cpus.
