Just sold my 165/Ultra D setup for some money to buy laptop. Looking for a temp cheap replacement. Im thinking of getting sempron 2500/2800 and oc it to 2.4ish... What motherboard/CPU do u guys recommend?
I run a Sempron 2800+ with a Chaintech vnf3-250. It works pretty well, hits 2.32 ghz at stock vcore and 2.4ghz with some adjustment(I think 1.49v?). However, that's an AGP-only solution.
For PCI-e, I think you could do well with the DFI board.
By your listings, seems as if you want 256k cache. I wouldn't recommend the 2500+ because the multiplier is too low - not even the DFI boards can easily take it to the core's limits. For best overclockability, make sure the chip you get is E3 or E6 core revision. If you don't want the Biostar board for whatever reason, look for the DFI Infinity board based on the Nforce4-4X chipset or another brand with that chipset, such as made by Epox or Abit.
