well yes XP mobile processors overclock better because. The mobile's provide a lower voltage, and run on a 266 MHz bus. However, because of the lower voltage, the result is lower temps, and a lot of extra overclocking headroom.

oh and yeah they are unlocked

Hi :wavey:

There are a couple of important factors that make the XP-M such a desirable chip from an overclocking standpoint. The first is the default voltage of the chip. The chips are tested to ensure they can run at 1.8Ghz @1.45V instead of the desktop versions default of 1.65V. The second important mark in the XP-M's favour is what's missing: a multiplier lock. One of the big advantages of the XP-M is its unlocked multiplier, which allows for substantial performance gains without having to resort to bus overclocking.

thanks guys

thanks guys

want to rep me lol

also the silicon on mobile chips is almost perfect ( to allow the chip to run @ such low voltage); this means that there is less average curent leakage(heat given out) per cycles @ a given voltage than their desktop counterparts. it u are to purchase 1 get a 2600+ 45W with 'I' steppings ,i have 1 of these and it runs 11*200 2200MHz <3200+> at 1.425 volts which as u may know is fantastic www.excaliberpcs.com can guarantee I steppings on some of their mobiles the highest speed i had min @ was 2701Mhz (could have got higher if comp liked CAS 3); as PV mentioned the unlocked multi is also a gr8 addition (it allows u to attain a speed with higher bandwith if ur board/ram can handle it;

i suggest getting either a DFi Nforce 2 board or a Ab9t nf7-s 2

Well, I have a MSI K7N2 Delta 2 mobo so, My computer was a budget PC, Once I get more ca$h I will eventually upgrade, Nick and I also salvaged parts from my two older HP's such as the HDD's and the Mem

Sweet well that's what its all about mate...upgrading for eva!!

 

[Dav0s]

upgrading is indeed the way forward

Don't ya know it Davo!!!

I prolly wont be upgrading for ~2 years, lol.

edit: wewt my 754'th post (socket 754 lmao)

I'd love to upgrade, my HDD or Memory is first to go! But who knows when that'll happen I have to get my mobo back first!

are you getting this all at the same time also why dont you tell us what type of mobo and or cpu you are going to get liek a64 or something lol

deff not at the same time I might get a few for my b-day but yeah a 64, and prolly a dfi lan boy
