Gettin' rid of my A64! :O

[shimmishim]

It's been fun...

but to be honest, I really miss HT...

whenever I get email, my system lags for 1 second while I play games...

whenever I play games, when something happens, I lag...

so...

I've decided to go back to try out mobile bartons now! :)

they are A LOT cheaper and just by selling my a64 3000+, i'll have enough to buy a cpu AND mobo!!! :)

if this doesn't work out.... then off to p4 land i go!

but i'll wait until the new socket to upgrade...

Heheh, I eagerly await word on the shimmishim full mod mobile overclock. :thumbs:
What mobo are you thinking about?

[eva2000]

awww .... me having re-newed fun with my A64 3000+ hehe

[pointreyes]

If you like the 'feel' of two procs that HT kinda of provides, then get a real two proc system. My dual Opteron definitely has a faster feel than my dual Xeon with HT enabled. However, my Opterons are only 1.4Ghz and my Xeons are 2.66Ghz. Yet still the Opteron is nicer. :)

[shimmishim]

lol... dual opteron system... yum....

but i don't want tos pend that much money!!! :)

cuz i can't :) hehehe...

anyway...

i'm thinking of either getting the nf7-s v.2 or the dfi infinity and doing full blown mods to both boards... AND getting a mobile 2600+ and doing the L12 mod to it to get as high a fsb as possible....

i hear though that the infinity allows most people to get to around 250 mhz w/o any mods... pretty impressive for an nforce2 board...

gotta see if i can get a better score for the contest :) ... though i did just increase my score my 300 points the other day...

[Jim]

Well I've been reading around on these Mobiles and I'm afraid I have the bug. Too much fun to pass up. Just need to choose a mobo....... :smash:

[shimmishim]

dfi infinity seems to be the popular choice of the hardcore o/c-er followed up closely by the nf7-s

[shimmishim]

well...

finally gave in and ordered my parts! :)

Mobile 2600+
DFI Ultra Infinity
ALX800 heatsink
TT Smartfan 2

and that's it...

goal: 2600 mhz on air @ or around 1.85 to 1.95 volts

prommy: 2900 to 3000 mhz @ or around 1.95 to 2 volts.

:)

[Rukee]

so, you gunna sell off your a64 stuff??

[shimmishim]

most likely yes :)

and then just hold off until august or september to upgrade again to socket 775 intel or 939 A64

Shim,. I've been playing with an AN7, 2500 mobile and an SP97 the last few days. Those numbers should be no problem. ;)
I'll post up my findings tonight I hope. :)

[pointreyes]

most likely yes :)

I wonder if there will be hybrid boards? PCI Express/AGP, SATAI/SATAII, DDR/DDRII, aTX/bTX. :(

[Rukee]

most likely yes :)
