Ok I could possibly geta free a64 board... and then buy a 3000+ and use my existing ddr 333mhz mem in it until I get some 400mhz mem in...

Or


I have Abit IS7-E board now and could pick up a p4 2.6c for dirt cheap from intel retail program which would let me buy memory and put the old cpu (1.6a@2.4) in to anothe r systemboard I have..... then overclock the 2.6...


What would you do?

Click to expand...


maybe i'm just a super n00b but what exactly is the intel retail program?
 
for retailers to purchase demo products the p4 2.6c is $135 and mem would be about $80 for two 256mb sticks of kingston 400mhz mem. I figure the 2.6c will do at least 3.2 or more overclocked. I currently have a abit IS7-E.

The A64 3000+ will be around $225 but I have to wait and see first If I can get a free board for review....
