No, but I have a 1700 that outperforms it. Do you want to hear about that?

well if u did achieve 2.5GHz with Ocing from 1.43 i think thats the max throttle you can get... but if a 2.08 Ghz is boosted.. ithink it will get max around 3.0Ghz... ITS ONLY A PREDICTION it would be better if a colleage actually had 1 and tried our lil experiments.

I dont think it requires college students to do things like overclocking

I think you meant colleague.

For $50 I would like to see you get similar performance.

Hardware Geek, time for a little education from Professor Rivington (me):

Do not repeat post to correct yourself, use the edit button on the post that you want to change, it will allow you to re-edit your post.
Do not repeat attachments if you already had a post, you can edit that post and select to upload a new attachment.


Repeat posts in sucession of 2 or 3 are considered n00b-like and suggest that you just want a high post count.

You can delete any post you make, and if you start a thread you can delete the first post on it and the entire thread will vanish. Do not abuse these powers, I am simply informing you of them.

Last but not least, good use of grammar and punctuation shows a professional touch and complete sentences are dropping by the day, try and use them too.

Now back to your regularly scheduled posting...

Jeesh, you're anal about proper grammer and sentence structure and spelling, aren't you tekx? There. I did it. Didn't even take college to get me spelling. Maybe, GK can initiate a spell check feature for the forums. Sometimes reading clowns posts, I go cross-eyed.

EDIT: Just saw Eek's post. Go for the 1700+ tbred "B" core, code JIUHB. Cheaper, more performance, and the money you save can go to a kick ass Abit or that board BA got..

Oh Dude, you have no idea of the belly laugh I got when I read your post. I got to give you credit for persistance.

Mr. EEK, I used a GA-7NV400 board. It's pretty new. It's pretty bad-assed.

I was using the 2800 barton for awhile until I replaced it with the 1700 (just for bragging rights) I have the same OC with both chips, but the barton scored higher on benching.

Ouch...pwn'd...nice rig BA... I built a 2400+333 box for my nephew...that thing was pretty quick...I was impressed with it's performance...I have a 1600+ @ 1800MHz that's really zippy too...Is it just me, or do AMD's just 'feel' faster? I'm using a 2.4c with 800MHz FSB at work here and it doesn't 'feel' as fast as my 1600+... (maybe it's server 2000 vs tweaked xp pro)
