Title: Overclocking on a budget
Post by: Josetann on August 16, 2000, 07:25:27 PM

Ok, I think I can sell my 333 celeron system for about $575 (I know, I\'ve tried before and I\'ll probably be stuck with this PC till the day I die but...).  I\'d like to know what you guys think is the best deal for overclocking.  Should I get a duron, a 533A celeron and hope it does 1066, perhaps cough up a little more dough and get a t-bird?  The $575 has to include the monitor, so you see I\'m on a budget here.

I do appreciate any full system recommendations, but am currently just curious to which proc you think\'d be best.  It doesn\'t have to be much of a system, as this is just my secondary PC used for mainly surfing the internet.

Celeron 566@850.  That\'s what I\'ve got and I think it\'s a great deal for a $100 CPU.

Go for the T-Bird, really. Can also be pumped up and is fast as hell!
