difference in chips?

Post by nooyawkah »

I killed off a good part of my system and need to buy a new cpu asap. My last one was an XP 1800+. My goal is to keep this one for awhile. Here are my questions:
1. I do not overclock. How much difference will I see between an 1800, 2000, 2200, 2400? The new mobo I bought will handle all. Where does price vs value become a losing proposition?
2. As I said, I want to hold onto this system for awhile. I currently have 512 PC 2100 RAM that works fine. While I'm changing things, is an upgrade to PC 2700 or 3300 worth it?
These are the instructions that came with my Thermalright SLK-800 cooler:
Assembly:
The assembly gestalltet itself just as simply as with the standard Slk-800. after the foil of the base plate was removed and the processor core with thermal compound moistened, leaves one the 6-Punkt-Halteklammer in the base noses to engage. Subsequently, the radiator box is aligned centrically on the base. By means of slotted bolt turners finally the catch side of the fixing clip down pressed to these on the base engages. A strammer contact pressure develops, whereby a good waermeaufnahme is ensured. Although the additionally existing PU Schaumpads provides for a safe seat on the processor, the PC should very carefully be transported and/or the radiators before transport be developed.

you'll see a difference in a 2400+ as far as pc2700 or 3200 if you don't plan on running a FSB of 166 or 200 its not needed.
