Hi. I was searching the thread but cannot find the answer.
I was thingking of upgrading from my old Barton 2500 (OC 3200) to AMD2 X2 3800.
I found that not much AM2 X2 information about OC.
My question:
1. What core/stepping to look for in AM2 x2 3800?
2. How high can oc?
3. Default speed 2ghz - is it too low sisnce my barton running 2.2ghz
3. What MB?
Thanks in advance
why bother about the 3800 X2 when u can get the 3600 X2 at RM120 cheaper. and both perform the same.I was thingking of upgrading from my old Barton 2500 (OC 3200) to AMD2 X2 3800.

about the overclock, it can achieve 2.4Ghz easily provided u have sufficient knowledge about overclock.
and one more thing, u cant compare a K8 2.0GHz vs K7 2.2GHz, since K8 will easily pawn K7. K7 need to be at least 300Mhz faster to compete with K8 (*done this test at my home using Barton 2600 2.3ghz vs Sempron E6 2500 @2.0GHz)
the result is, encoding and rendering stuffs, K8 wins by leaps and bounds, other area like gaming, super PI it is almost equal. u can refer to the CPU chart at www.tomshardware.com where there is a barton. (i think there remove it liao since it is so old)
