Amd Athlon 64 2800+?????

[ryko]

Does anybody have one? I was thinking of picking one up from newegg for around $172. How does it overclock? Should be able to do 3200+ speeds right? Any thoughts?

i think one of the guys over at IC got one Yea it will prolly do 2.0ghz but it wont have 1mb lvl 2 cache

I heard rumors of enabling the extra 512 of l2. Is this possible? I can't afford the 'real' amd 64's.....

theres nothing wrong with the a64 2800+ , its a REAL AMD64 chip.

pickup one up, also order a thermalright heatsink for it and OC :)

He is correct it is a REAL A64 just no 1mb lvl 2 cache

I know, I know, i was just kidding. I was also thinking about the abit kv8. Is this a good choice? I thought i saw a post around here where someone was having all kinds of problems with it.

By the way i already have a slk-948u, some geil golden dragon pc3500, an ati 9600pro, and 2 x 120gb maxtors to round out the rig.

Maybe i should just wait for socket 939? How long until that comes out?

One or two months.
