Mobile or not

[water_cooler 20]

I'm doing a few upgrades so i'm changing my
8rda+ for a DFI Infinty
and buying more RAM
but the reason i made this thread was to ask if i should get a
Mobile XP or keep my XP 2100 AIUHB ( 240 i think ) unlocked
I was thinking of getting the 35 watt Athlon XP-M 2200

also i hope i will get my water chiller going soon too

Considering your already at 2.6ghz (unless your sig means 2600+) I'd stay with what you've got. If your sig means 2600+ levels; go for either the 2400+ or the 2500+ mobile

[water_cooler 20]

My sig does mean 2600+ but thats with the stock cooling lol i haven't had anytime to finsh up my water chiller

[Cow2kie]

id say see what your current chip can do w/ the water chiller before your purchase a new cpu. If you can hit 2.6ghz then Id say no dont get the mobile.

Personally, I'dspend the money buying a gig of good ram.

[Confused_User]

Yah, get a gig of RAM first, it will give you the most noticable performance increase.

That's a pretty good oc that you're getting from that xp 2100 with simply a stock cooling plus it's an unlocked chip too. In a way it would be somewhat redundant to grab a mobile chip. Like what was suggested, try it (current chip) first with your planned water setup and see how it performs.

512 to a gig of ram certainly wouldn't hurt.

The 512K cache of a barton would help a lot though :/ But 1GB would be good too...

He said he is hitting 2600+ (PR!) Yes get a mobile.

I think you'll find (3800+) (PR) is alot nicer than (2600+) (PR)....get a mobile. Get 1Gig of good ram too....Zipzoomfly still has 512M sticks of KHX3000 for $114....BH5.

Thats not with his water chiller.

2600+ is ussually a pretty shabby oc, but I don't see too many people using the stock cooler. You should let us know how high your chip goes with the chiller before making any decisions.

[Savuti]

Oops my bad, if the sig meant 2600 PR which i thought was a total clock, then a new mobile chip might be in order.

[T07N]

go for the mobile 2400+ 35w or the mobile 2600+.

[gouda96]

The mobile bartons seem to be a crap shoot...my 45w 2400 can do 2.75 @ 1.85v with an slk900(u) and a pos nf7-s(I realy like saying that).

you are lucky to have such a good chip. most mobile 2400+ 45w can only do 2.4-2.5ghz.

[water_cooler 20]

So i guess i will not know til i cool it lol
will i guess i better work harder on my water chiller then
also i'm only running 1.6 vcore( which i think is stock since my chip is one of original high stock voltage tbread Bs )
to so that kind of hinders the OC but Stock cooling wasn't made for high volts and ocs
I can hit 2.3ghz w/ 1.6 but its unstable

[Cow2kie]

well lets see what it can do w/ 2v!

[water_cooler 20]

lol why not push 220V w/ no heatsink
also on the other hand does the DFI Infinty come with sound storm like my 8rda+

[water_cooler 20]

well now i setup my Infinty
so far i'm oced at 235x9.5
CPU temp Idle 44C
Vcore 1.8
VDD 1.8
Vdimm 3.00
timings 3-3-3-2.5
with one XMS BH-6 and one XMS CH-5 both pc3200

this is with plain H20
but i'm cooling off my gpu, chipset, and cpu
in that order
so i figure thats lowering my cpu oc so i'm going to change it to
cpu->gpu->chipset

also is 235 a good fsb for an Infinty

[dcpusher]

I think they can go higher, 240 is what I have herd for NF7 and 260 for the DFI's.
