Bumpity bump bump.. for a damn good seller :)

I think I might just snap this up : http://www.starmicro.net/detail.aspx?ID=530

I dont want to upgrade to a new chipset. That means new graphics card, new ram, new mobo, and new cpu. Not happning. I have about 150 max to spend. Jsut seeing if this is really going to be a noticeable differance. i have a 6800 nu runnin a 400/900 so no real need for a new card. Shes aging...

So right now i have a 2.4ghz p4 northwood and im looking to go to a 3.2 or 3.4 pressy with HT. This a 478 chipset. I also have 1.5 gig of patriot 3200 ram. I also have no intrest in up grading mobo/ram/cpu/fx card at this time/ Just a nice bump of what I have. Will this be a decent upgrade...

what mobo's are you guys running ?

For the price it seems you cant beat it. i have a northy 2.4 revison c1 and it overclocks for shit. 2695mhz is the most i can get out of it and have it run stabe. but this chip has the 512kb L2, so i am curious on how much performance ill loose by going to 256kb L2.

Im interested in this too. these chips seem to be some pretty damn good overclockers. My questions are : How is there performance compared to say a 3.0 P4 with the 1mb L2. So far the only differance I can see is the L2. how important is it really when you have such a healthy oc'er?

DDR500 one of the 2 Patriot http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820220009 Geil http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820144517 DDR400 Corsair XMS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145450

My asrock p4v88 says ddr400, I want new memory adn wanted to get some ddr500 will it be ok to run in the board? I was thinking the 500 for a little more headroom while overclocking. Thanks

Bump...im interested too

I was also thinking if I got new memory, in the future (2-3months) I wanted to get a pressy 3.0-3.2ghz....Would the ddr400 be a decent stick for that cpu also or would I be better going to the ddr500 with a little more relaxed timeings?

i was looking at the Xms, I beleave 2-2-2-6. Would it benificial to run ddr500 at 3-3-3-6? Price differance isnt that bad.

I know everyone hates it but i have an asrock p4v88. The board has ran great so far.

And another question to the [H] gods......if i run cpu-z how do I tell which version I have. Like he said he had a 2.4c. How can I tell what mine is ???? :confused:
