How much money are you willing to spend?

Go with a Mobile Athlon64 3400. They run alot cooler and overclock more than normal CPU's.

 

[steveo42024]

Go intel

 

[Jori]

lol... If your looking for a great gaming rig go AMD. (Mobiles will OC alot and give superior performance in games, Intel beats it in some things.. Just not games)

 

[steveo42024]

There so close youd never tell the differnce. Id check some benchies before you buy.

im looking to spend under $150 for the cpu. plus i need a good mobo to go along with it. is the abit nf7 v2 a good board?

 

[steveo42024]

Yea dont go intel if your on a budget. thats a good budget board and heard its a good ocer but dont know to much about amd. Anyone else?

any of these three mobile XP's will do wonders with a good board.

Multipliers are unlocked in mobile XP's, so a multitude of FSB*multiplier combinations can be found to work for you.

Read Plague's guide to mobils, it explains everything like which ones are good and such.

about 165.00 but that includes shipping.. how ever I am not sure if the Asus A7n8X supports Mobils or not can anyone confirm?

 

[Jori]

Should be in Plague's guide.

 

[HotDog]

Looks like you got a winner.

Since you aren't willing to wait for a 939 system. Do yourself a favor and save as much $$ as you can.

Get a 2400/2500+ mobile.
The $50 shuttle an35n-ultra board
and then just get a huge heatsink. If you want to use it on your next a64 system get a pipe101, if you don't care get a thermalright si-97. The fan choice is up to you depending if you like your system quiet, or if it doesnt matter if it sounds like a jet.

Thats what 140+ 50/60 for hsf = $200 for a new system capable of at least 2.3ghz. If you get the 2500+ it might to 2.5ghz on air.

O ya buy ram that you can carry over to the next system...Gotta look ahead.

Puh, If you just looking for a chip to overclock, buy a Celeron 2.4and overclock it like mad, lol.
If your going for gaming and what not, but an AMD 64 3400+.

He has a budget, budget doesn't = a64 or p4 systems
