Athlon XP 2400+ vs Athlon XP 3200+

[Guest]

I have AMD Athlon XP 2400+ and I want to change it to AMD Athlon XP 3200+. I gain in performance or the difference is little?

Just by looking, you have a good gain, but it's like saying, a V8 or a V12, is it better?

We need both cpus' model numbers. (FSB at least for compatibility, ram specs). The cpu alone will not give you that ultra better feeling unless it's followed by good ram (same fsb) and a good video card.

if you aren't in gaming too much...

If you want to buy new you have to buy everything new.

I will but not yet, I want to buy a core 2 quad, and the new series of the GeForce ( I hope they will release it this months) but I don't have the money for that right now For now I will but this: Intel Pentium 925 Tray: Pentium 925 3 GHz, dual core, bus 800, s.775, 2*2MB.

this year sorry

i suggest you post your desired config here before buying, we may avoid some bad upgrade...

we've seen plenty, forget pentium apart the ones mentioned in the article, all those old cpus are history, buy core 2 as you are thinking, not else



bye
