2800vrs3000

i was wondering if i would be better off to save my self some $$ and get the 2800 but i think that would complicate overclocking (the 10x multiplier is so much nicer) but all in all would they pretty much yield the same results when overclocking?

*bump*

They are about the same. You just pay a bit extra for the bump in multiplier and mhz for the 3000+ performance is prty much the same.

yeah, the 2800+ 64 seems to be able to achieve the same overclocking speeds as an overclocked 3000+...around 2.4Ghz in most cases, there are exceptions in the OC world, of course. So that said....2800+ is a good deal. I'd say in a non-OCing perspective...the 3000+ is the best bang for the buck cuz you get a crucial 200 Mhz more, but for OCing the 2800+ is the best bang for the buck.

hey amdbloke how do you like that mobo its a very ... Intresting ..... setup

I think the more you can pay, the better, as OC'ing is not only NOY guaranteed, but quite often fails badly. See me other thread to understand.
