So I am upgrading from an Athlon XP 2400+ to these new specs:
Gigabyte GA-K8NS Ultra-939 Motherboard
Athlon 64 3000+ 939 Pin CPU
PC3200 DDR Specteck 1 Gig RAM
Thermaltake Venus 12 CPU Coole
Now, I overclock my video card all the time but I haven't overclocked a CPU for years! Would it be worth it to pay the extra $50 to get a 3200+ or can I overclock the 3000+ pretty easily with such a large CPU cooler?
Please let a newb know!
