Need advice from the experts......
I want to upgrade my KT3 Ultra2 and XP2200 CPU..... I'm on a tight budget so I want performance for low price. I'll be getting the Abit NF7 mobo, but I'm undecided in which CPU to get...... I want something for the LONG RUN, the options are:
a) 2500 XP Barton and 512mb DDR GeIL 400
b) or just a 2700 XP CPU cause I have dual 256mb 333 DDR
I want my system to operate at 2.2ghz speed..... will the barton be enough overclocked?, will this procesor have the same lifetime as if I get the 2700 XP not OC?
PS... With the Abit mobo!, I wont need to unlock the cpu, right?
Thanx in advance.......
