Upgrading Athlon XP2000+ processor

[Rory Mc Helpneeded]

Hi guys,

I'm looking to upgrade my Athlon XP2000+processor.

my motherboard is a Soltec nforce2 SL-75FRN-L.

So I know I need an AMD Socket-462 processor but...

...what's the very best one I can get and about how much and where from?

Thanks very much for your time,

Rory

The fastest processor for your motherboard is Athlon XP 3000+ with 333 MHz FSB - http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K7/AMD-Athlon%20XP%203000%2B%20-%20AXDA3000DKV4D.html

Here is a link to a list of all processors supported by your motherboard:

Thankyou for that. Very helpful.

Seems to be rather difficult to get hold of a new one of these in the UK.... Have put in a bid on ebay for a used one for £33 though.

Is it worth it, or should I just keep my overclocked Athlon2000+?

Thanks again,

Rory

I'm mainly upgrading to get things to run a little faster but also enjoying learning about the inside of my PC. So, welll worth spending a few quid I recon. Anyway, thanks again for your help. I appreciate it.

Best wishes,
