I am in the process of upgrading my current system. I had to put in a
replacement motherboard which got things rolling. I have an Abit KV7
(400mhz capable) with an old 1.0 Athlon XP and PC 2700 Ram. Here is my
dilemma-I want to upgrade the processor.
-Do I just buy a Barton 333mhz 2500 for 75.00 or spend the money to jump to
the 400mhz FSB 3000 for 138.00. (Newegg seems to be the only one selling a
3000 400 mhz vs the common 3200???)
-Do I need to upgrade my RAM toPC 3200 immediately?
-Is the 400mhz processor going to give me that much better performance?
-In connection with these choices if I do buy the 2500 Barton 333 where can
I find comprehensive info on overclocking. I have no experience in this
area.
Your help in sorting this out is appreciated.
