Will this 2100+ OC to what i need? <edit> i should get a 1700+ instead?

[Malignant]

Hi I'm new with overclocking, I am soon going to be purchasing a new pc, and I am pretty sure i'm going to go with this:

athlon XP 2100+ ("B-CORE AIUHB", is this good for oc :\ *noob*)
thermalright SLK-800
epox 8RDA+
512mb kingmax DDR400
radeon 9500 pro/80g maxtor hdd/etc..

I am going with the 2100+ because of it's price and apparent OC ability. With the above hardware (and your help ), what speed would i be able to get the cpu up to whilst maintaining good stability?

your chip should easily hit 2.167GHz easily(13 x 166)

Just add about 0.10 Volts to the CPU and you can hit 2300MHz relatively easily (11.5x200)

I would go with a 1700 JIUHB and Corsair ram...

Will the 1700 run as stable? All i want is 2.2GHz.. mm that corsair ram is expensive, but i might be able to afford it with the $$ i save on the processor


<edit> also i can only find one australian site that is selling the 1700+ JIUHB heh

YMMV, i'm maxed out @ 11x200 w/ 1.85 vCore

also, you might wait for the 8rda3+ which will have SATA (no biggie to me), 2 NICs (shrug) & vDD adjustable in bios!!!!

How much of an advantage will this be?

 

[bgeh]

the VDD adjustment will allow for high FSB's above 200MHz

 

[FFactory0x]

and whens this coming out. Just buy now. If you wait you will never buy. Something new will always be coming out on the horizen.

 

[bgeh]

or you can get the Abit NF7-S Rev 1.2
it also has VDD adjustable option

kingmax? never heard of it. Probably would be better off going with a namebrand like crucial/twinmos/hyperx if you're going to overclock.

2200MHz should be easy with those components.

In Australia those brands aren't very common, kingmax/kingston/corsair are the mainstream here.. but i might see if i can get my hands on some crucial, twinmos, or cheap corsair because i'm not sure about kingmax/kingston either. *search search*
