that xp 2100 could be good for up to 2.3 gigs mate i had one that did 2.3 nps
however i presume its the xdream hsf u are talkin about, that is one noisey fan, even at the lowest setting it offended my ears!0 -
OK, my score in 3D Mark 2001SE @ 1024x768 32bit colour with a MSI GF3 ti200 and old 30.82 dets (I like 'em, they're reliable) is:
dum dum du du du du duuuuuum .... 8759
So, er.... is that any good?
Cyrus, no it's actually a super not-very-good CP5-6J31C which according to Komplett is rated to 2800+ but according to Coolermaster is rated to only 2600+
I want to buy a Vantec AeroFlow.... I've asked Cat over on the Elara board can he get one for me... I found it in the UK except the site wanted to charge stg£22 for shipping... and the cooler is only stg£24!
Anyone know where I can get one cheap ?0 -

try www.theoverclockingstore.co.uk and selecet free shipping u normally get it
or this place is good www.1coolpc.com its in the us but there prices are same as uk only in $ so works out cheaper shippin isnt too bad0 -
Can't seem to find the Vantec at www.theoverclockingstore.co.uk. They have it at www.1coolpc.com but hmmm... ordering from the states makes me nervous :rolleyes:
I've also been recommended the Thermalright SK-7 . It's cheap (well . . . in the US!) and supposed to be really good.
On the graphics side... I can play the few games I have fine on the current setup. IMHO Trying to keep up with the latest graphics cards is as futile and as money-wasting as trying to always have the latest, greatest CPU. I always buy behind the curve.. hence the XP2100+ rather than something faster. Bang per buck is what you want to go for. When a killer app won't run on your box, then it's time to upgrade....
... unless you REALLY want to of course 0 -
