Which XP to buy?

[johndoe52]

Like the title says I am getting an XP and would like some advice on which one to get. Since it seems like 2100 is the limit the current XP core will go and I really don't want to wait for thoroughbred core to come out. I'm going to oc and I'd like to save money so which XP could i currently get that would do the job?

The 1700+ seems to be the sweet spot at the moment as far as price/performance goes.

I too think the 1700+XP is the sweet spot. If you want to spend a tish more and get another 60Mhz, the 1800+XP isn't a bad deal either. Anything above that and you're looking at a $50+ increase in price for just a few more MHz that you're probably not going to notice.

What about overclocking?? ?Which CPU is good to o/c??

I think the 1800+ is the best chip to OC because they usually come as AGOGA steppings, while 1700+s are always the older stepping.

Just recently picked up a 1700+.

good choice... i personally belive in spending 50 less, get 50 less (sad isnt it) then oc it

how hot is that running?

I think i'm going to wait for the 1800 to drop in price just a little bit more.

I also think the 1800+ is the best to buy....more so if you plan on ocing a bit more...I think it is more likely to be of same lot as 2000+ and may be able to achieve that with minimal voltage modding...
