mobile or barton???

[theyellowdart]

I was just about to order a barton 2500+ system when I found out that the mobile barton could be tons better, but just a little bit more. I was just wondering how likely I am to get the fsb up to 400 so I can use my ram to full potential if I get the mobile barton. thanx!
p.s. right now, the fsb is 266

The mobile barton 2500+ are great overclockers and they come multiplier unlocked. Some people are getting 2.7ghz. Make sure your motherboard can support it first.

the mobo i plan on getting is the a7n8x deluxe, it says it supports bartons, but i can't see newhere if it supports the mobile????

the moblie cpus overclock far better than the desktop bartons.

I agree. I've never been happier with a cpu.

That's a mobile 2400+ on an A7N8X dlx. That's not prime stable though.
Will probably do that on a better board with more juice and better cooling.
Working on 12x200 @1.75V for everyday speeds.

Any reason why you are going for the asus?

The abit nf7-s and DFI infinity (awesome voltage options on the dfi) are better overclockers and cheaper.

I am running a mobile 2500 at 2.4ghz 1.75v on a DFI. Good combo.

Ive had it as high as 240fsb, could go more with a little juice.

I've had this board for a while. I do have the DFI Infinity in my sights as my next purchase though...

Seems to be the setup of choice for high FSB and good voltage options. Prob pick one up next week at some point.
