Guys, need an opinion here. I'm thinking to jump to 754 platform. I'm thinking about AMD64 3000. Here at my place, it got CAA2C stepping. is this a good one, or just a normal one?

Thanks, I do remember it has LBBWE written on it? will this info any good? And according to here its venice. Will this do good on oc?

Thanx for the info n links guys. Is it worth the price ( RM480.00 ) to buy?

Hmm... thanx guys. But, if it truly venice, will it be overclocker's gem? The guys ( from the link ) bought it and its the same as the one i'm going to buy. CPU-Z do recognize it as venice tho.

Any recommendation abt the mobo to pair this proc? Lets just say, the proc is highly oc able wan.

can anybody guide me here? I'm planning to jump to 754 platform and dunno which mobo to buy. As far as i know, you will onli see sempron64 advantages after overclocking. on stock speed, it's on par or only slightly better than barton on socket A ( correct me if i'm wrong here ).
I need to know b4 purchase;

which mobo should i buy for oc'ing 2800 sempey?
any particular sempey stepping need to watch?


Thanx in advance...

sorry , forgot to add, i need agp mobo since jarang play any games now. My target is around 2.6-2.7G onli.

Hehhee... tq davidletterboyz, for fast reply. btw, y u terkezut 2.6-2.7? izzit too high or izzit too low?

* may i know wat bios u use in ur nf7 rig? i cant hit 2.5G with prime stable with mine.

thanx guys. how bout mobo? am i stuck with NF8 since i do use d-43? or any other choice? currently, just went out to survey " sempron on the shop shelf " and all of them have AIO2BX 050x . is this good batch?

its AIO2BX TPMW and AIO2BX FPMW..... is this a regular batch? ( mebe i overlooked the s64 and regular sempey, s64 do have this stepping, right? )

Thankx sifu's for the infos. now lemme compile it.

1. Im stuck wif Abit NF8 mobo, since i'm thight on budget, agp thingy and hynix D-43 ram.
2. Wif s64, average / most of 2800+ can hit 2.4G
3. Batch doesnt come in play in terms of overclockabilities; as long as M is the 3rd letter on the stepping, it's good to go.
4. S64 "Made in China" not having a good reputation among oc'ers.
5. make sure the 6 letter stepping ended wif BX. ( this is correct, right?)

Comparing s64 wif amd64 on sc754, which one will perform better in term of oc n performance?

Thanx all; sifu's n guru's ...

Was surveying for NF8 ( as david recomendded )mobo today at the local store here. Found out, they have 3 ver available, NF8, NF8-V and NF8-V2. Which one is the best?

yeaa... abit confused bout the "V" and "F" . heheheh.... based on experienced, which one oc better? From other forum, i got ;

"the v2 uses nf3 250 chipset instead nf3 250gb. therefore, no gb lan and firewall."

Just order my mobo and proc. S64 2800 and NF8-V2. Hope its a good combo. Will get it b4 CNY.

just got my nf8 and s64 2800. sadly, it's "Made in China" one, with LBBWE 0545. Now, the technical question, how do i change the multiplier? right now, i only using clockgen, and able to bump the htt to 310 at 1.52v. FSB:DRAM is CPU/10 at cpu-z. really noobie in this sc754 oc. . n my temp, it stay at 30c whether it's 1.6G or 2.4G. But will "JUMP" ( not increasing gradually ) to 37c during SuperPi ( 38.44sec ). After it finish calculating, it jump back to 30c. Is this normal?

ehehhe.... dunno lah bro. i just now, baru pakai s64 ni. . so to oc, just increase the htt?

yaa... i used 3x, divider 166, htt 310. full speed is 2480. It's my ram limiting me, since the vdimm onli 2.8v. Mine run best at 2.9v. . But, when i used divider 133, my system wont boot, just beep. why ah?? timing is manually set at 3-4-4-8

Yea... the one inmy siggy. 150? i dun think nf8 has it. just 100 133 166 200 and ldt 1x to 5x.

mine can do as my siggy but onli wif 2.9v. now, at 2.8v its 248 max. over that, bsod.
