Need advice on upgrading CPU. - I have a system with a LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR. Will this board take all the 939 like the Denmark, Toledo, and San Diego CPUs? Also, which is the most powerful? It's for the kid's computer, so it does a bit of gaming, and video..

hi,

im building a new system and just want some quick recommendations. i've
read reviews online about the following processors(pricewatch prices
included):

$80 - Athlon XP 2800 333
$75 - Athlon XP 2700 333
$73 - Athlon XP 2600
$66 - Athlon XP 2600 333
$83 - Athlon XP 2500
$67 - Athlon XP 2500 333

and i'm not finding any info that seems to suggest any one of these
really stands out from the others. the xp 2500 266 seems to be really
overpriced, but other than that, i'm having a hard time knowing what or
what not to choose.

do any of these athlons have any special overclockability relative to
the others?

tia

$67 - Athlon XP 2500 333

Look at it this way
the top speed of every model after and including the 2500+ is about
2200/2300mhz
the M versions should go a bit higher.. personally
I would go with the 2500+ 333 and just make sure I buy a 200fsb (400 ddr)
board with pc3200 ram<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Just assume that it's lock'd from the start.

The mob version isnt lock'd however..

(lock'd or not doesnt matter, you can change fsb regardless)<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
