Hi everyone,

Just out of curiousity, what CPU are you using in your main PC. The PC you use everyday, not the PC on order, the CPU that is your workhorse.

Mine is a 1700+. I need to order a 2500+ simply because of how cheap it would be an give me a great perfomance increase. I'd run mine at 2800+ though.



Best Regards,
Gary Hendricks

Up until July it was a Celeron 500. :O
Now it's a NWC 2.6. :)

1700+ @ ~2254Mhz (196x11.5), 1.575Vcore...

Actually, that's my home PC. the one I use for 8+ hours a day is my one at work, a PII 400Mhz :frown: . It's really annoying.. Actually I discovered that a (cached) build of the software I work on takes ~40seconds to build on my work PC, but only takes 3 on my own beast :frown: .

My personal home entertaining system is running on an AthlonXP 2600+ Thoroughbred-B 333FSB, overclocked to 10*217MHz. Home working system is running on PentiumIII 700MHz Coppermine, no overclocked.

Me fail English? That's Unpossible!

I currently use a Palomino 1700+. I'm still undecided on whether to upgrade to a 1700+ Tbred "B" and simply OC it slightly, or a 2400+/2500+ Barton next summer though.

There is a 23.72% chance someone within a mile of you is jacking himself up.
 
AMD Thoroughbred XP 2100+ (1733mhz) @ 192x12=2304mhz memory timings 2-3-3-7

Many other CPU’s not worth mentioning.

Dichromatic for your viewing plesure...
 
XP2400+ at 266FSB

It overclocks nicely but my motherboard sucks so I leave it stock.

Athlon 1ghz AXIA core (remember those days) @ 1400 140x10

Speed Sdram!! wooohooo... looking to upgrade soon, just waiting on the prices to drop some more.

You'd be nuts getting a new 1700+ when a 2500+ costs only $81 on pricewatch. Unless your motherboard and memory don't support 333 MHs FSB's, but in that case, you wouldnt have a whole lot of overclocking headroom for a 1700+ either.
