[quote:dda58]One more thing, is it possible for me to upgrade my fsb speed on this mobo i have now w/o replacing the mobo?[/quote:dda58]

-No chipsets are permy, you can not "remove it" simply to say. Although if you do upgrade to AMD instead of another pentium on your next mobo processor combo make sure you go for a Nforce Chipset board. VIA to say = shitastic AMD chipsets.

[quote:dda58]Kind-of-sort-of....

AMD's run much hotter simply by default, so if your going to overclock one, I would recommend adding even more cooling than you would on a P4 chip. So I would say in the end they just about balance out in price.[/quote:dda58]

-"Not True. This only held true for the old Palomino core Line of AMD processors..(The First XP Athlon's). Ever since the T-Bred it has run considerably cooler. The New Bartons are almost as kool as the old Willamite P4 cores were. -The new Extreme Edition P4's are extremely hot running hotter then most Barton's out their today.

[quote:dda58]You do realize that with proper cooling an some other small upgrades, you can get that p4 2.0 to about a 3.2. Question it not, i have heard of it being done by some experianced modders. Some of whom produced a guide, that page has since gone 404, but im sure you could find info on it at some tech site. [/quote:dda58]

-Again major corrections needed here again unless we want gt frying up some sili. 2.0's never came out with the famous C "core (with the 800mhz fsb. Gt's is most likely a B or even a "a. These could have little hope of even reaching a 2.3 Overclock without special cooling aka water block.

-Not a thermal paste. It is a company. Artic Silver is a paste compound , only paste That thermal take could have is the shitty stuff they package with the cpu/fans, but thats not made by them. biggrin:

[quote:dda58]Now, if i wanted to upgrade my mobo and or my front side bus speed, how would i go about doing that? Would i have to purchase an entire new chipset? Or could i extract the p4 chip from this current mobo onto a new 1? [/quote:dda58]

-You can take the processor out of course. But not the chipset. Most new mobo's support the new 800mhz fsb speed so I doubt yours will still work. "Although some have backwards compatibility. and a jumper either built into the bios or built physicly on the new board itself. You best bet it to just bu a whole new mobo and processor combo. Upgrading one or the either is not smart. Although I have no idea why you would need to upgrade. That system would perform great, it ain't bad at all.

"My best advice would be to get a major cooling upgrade. This means
=New PSU 500watt performance 50 American at most'
=MUltiple intake and exuast fans. Maybe even a pci slot fan for the video card since the stock ati cooling on the 9600's is garbage.. Your system will last it is perfectly up to date. Arkan must be smoking a lil something over there though lol. beer:
-Last buy ram sinks for you memory and your video card ram. (heat sinks for ram.

cheers and Good Luck.
