Hi Guys!
I finished deciding what I wanted to get, and bought all the parts I needed to upgrade my computer. Total cost came out to about $400 before shipping. This is what I got:
Chenbro Gamaing Bomb Case
Coolmax 500W power supply
Abit AN7 Motherboard
Mobile Athlon XP 2500+ (45w)
Thermalright ALX-800 heatsink
Geil PC3200 Value ram (blue stuff)
Various fans
Well, I currently have the vcore at 1.7v, and am priming away at 2.4GHz currently. Temperature under load is hovering around 47-48 celsius.
If 2.4 is stable I will have hit my target speed for this cpu. Assuming this goes well though, I might try pushing for 2.5GHz, or maybe upping the fsb to 210 or 220. Given that I'm already around low end Athlon64 performance levels, I'm pretty happy.
