Hey, after working myself to death this week I told myself i could get a AthlonXP.
So, i went ahead and ordered a 1700+ fron NewEgg. I hope i get a B core. And i'm hoping to overclock it to the 1.9-2.5 range (we'll see). Anyway, Does anyone know what kinda performance differance i will see from my old Athlon 1.4 @ 1.5 (9*166) ? I tried looking for comparison tests but i didnt find anything.
Also I've seen that some people have been getting their 1700's and they have said that the multiplier unlocked? Is there any truth to this?
One last question, and i know this sounds n00bish, but its been awhile and I'm wondering what the procedure is for new CPU's, should i reset my bios and then install, and then set it up?
Thanks Guys, its been awhile since i've been swaping procesors out, hence my Athlon 1.4, 900, Duron 750.............
