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

Edited AMD2 to AM2. I feel stupid!

Can give an example of combination. AM@ x2 3800 and what motherboard.

I dont want to end up buying any MB and then someone told me that I should have bought some other MB.

Thanks

I'm from Alor Star. Went to few shop here. Most dont have this processor.

1 shop have but quoted me RM1k + !!

Another shop seems to know about this but offer me the 3600+ but saying this new AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ EE 65w @ RM520 with cache 512 x 2. I siad it should come with 256x2. But he said new one!

And suggest the Abit K9 Ultra board

Your coment please. TQ.

Thanks for all the advise. Anyway I'll always be with AMD.

Just another question.

My friend want to sell to me AMD Athlon (Winchester) 64 3200+ + MSI K8N Neo4-F Nforce4-F at RM400

1. Is it cheap?
2. Can OC how high? (He is using default speed)
3. How much performance different from Barton 2500 (oc 3200) in using Photoshop and video editting?

Thanks
