any reason to upgrade CPU on my 8rda+

[Mattlock]

I've got an Epox 8rda+ with a xp2100 overclocked to a 2600 speed. Is there any reason to upgrade my CPU on that motherboard? What is the upgrade path(max CPU) for my m/b?

thanks,
Mattlock

If your board can do 200fsb+, go for a xp1700tbred b or an older barton(new ones have multi locked) and o'c to a 3200+.

I second the 1700+; try to get a nice stepping used. My 1700+ is at 2.352 mhz and I'm a noob overclocker. And my 8rda+ is a rev 1.1, a3 northbridge and I can't reach 200 fsb. I love these chips; collected 2 more for my backup comps that I'll install over thanksgiving (with "new" 8rda+s)

it depends on what you use the computer for

i'm leaning towards "dont upgrade"

Who cares what he uses it for? It is not like 1700's are expensive. $50 for a chip that can do 2+ghz kicks.
