XP 1800+ or 1900+?

[shiner]

About to upgrade my Druon 750 and was wondering which of the XP's to get. I don't do any overclocking so that ability doesn't matter to me. Is the .7 mhz increase of the 1900+ worth it or should I save $ and just get the 1800+?

The XP 1900 is not worth the price premium, IMO. Or you could do it like I did, get XP 1600 and OC . I got mine up to 1612 with minor stability issues, but I backed down to 1589 and I can run folding@home and prime95 for days on end without any errors/crashes/reboots.

I would get the 1800. but the 1600 is much better deal if you wanted to overclock it.

Definitely not the 1900- paying 33% more for a 5% performance increase that you probably won't notice makes no sense to me. A 1600 or 1700 seems to be the current sweet spot in price vs performance.... A fsb overclock of 6 mhz will fundamentally move any XP up a grade, given the very high multipliers....
