I have been looking to purchase an AMD Athlon XP 3200 (400fsb), to upgrade from a 2600, but can't seem to find any good deals....does anyone know where I can find a good price? or even a better cpu compatible to this mobo (a7n8x-x delux)

Newegg and Zipzoomfly are my favorites for electronics, but check out Pricewatch.com and Pricegrabber.com for great comparison sites.

Well, that is Socket A, so you are limited a lot to Semprons or XP's. Any chance you could upgrade your mobo as well? There are some spanking good deals to be had if you can do that.

Also, as I have learned, fill out your system specs in your profile.

newegg doesn't sell these cpu's anymore for some reason... and pricewatch prices tell me its cheaper to go with a 64 rather than 32... but that would require a new board... but thanks for your input, I'll keep looking in those sites.

I have a link to how to upgrade mobo and CPU without even a repair install of Windows XP if that helps.

BTW - There is a 754 socket mobo and 3300+ Sempron combo at Outpost.com for $89.99 right now. I can link both if you are interested.

 

[mantice2000]

yes please and how upgradable is this board and what does the cpu compare to the 3200

 

[mantice2000]

I just updated my system spec for my profile, w/o certain info I can't seem to remember of hand...

 

[ffmadcow]

Replace Mobo link

Dang, the other one is gone. This is the only type left currently:

[mantice2000]

thanks, good idea ... what does this cpu compare to the 3200xp?

 

[cdub998]

Yeah because with what you have why don't you just get some better cooling and OC it to a 3200 speed. Its not that hard.

Perhaps not as well, but you also get the 754 socket mobo, which can be upgraded a ton more.

 

[mantice2000]

sorry for the late responce, thanks for the comments. I'll take them into concideration...

You could try an antiques store. Just a thought. Seeing as how AMD hasn't made these in over a year, you will pay a premium for it.

When I Get Better Cooling How Would I Oc To 3200, What Speed Is That? Also My Mult Is Locked And I Am Limited To Jumping Up My Fsb And Pc3200 Ram Also Limits. I Am Still New To Oc'ing
