Hello ppl,

I am after your invaluable advice again.

I am looking to upgrade from my AMD XP1700 running on an ABIT KD7 mobo ( max 333fsb i think )

I am looking to OC one with the thermaltake silent boost cause i dont like noise and cant afford the fancy liquid cooled solutions.

What in your experience is the best priced Barton from 2500 - > 3200 for OC'ability.

the prices seem reasonable as always but there is a big jump from 2800 - > 3000 - > 3200 is this justified ( although i cant afford the 3200 anyways)

TIA again

go for the 2500+ and clock it up to 3200+ speeds, with decent ram and mobo, and a little voltage increase you should manage that no problem, i have my 2500+ barton running at 2.28ghz, which is actually faster than the 3200+ (not by much i know) but alot of people can clear 2.3ghz with a 2500+.

3200+ speeds for 2500+ prices, you can't beat it!

So whats da difference between an Athlon and a Barton ?

I have an ASUS A7N8X-X, does this board support Barton's ? If it does, would it allow it to get 3200+ speeds ?

PLUS, what do you class as 'decent' RAM ? Heard alot 'bout Crucial, but is there a specific model ?

Thanks,

Ferret !

barton is the name of the core on the processor.athlon is the name of the processor.there is also another core named thoroughbred.that asus board does support bartons,which processor with barton core though?

The 2500+ for sure. It seems to be seriously under clocked by default. You should be able to run it with the stock hsf at default voltage at 10.5 x 200 (which i believe is close to a 3000+ in performance). With the hsf you are getting you should have no problem getting it to and past the 3200+ speed of 2.2 ghz.

Plus at around $90-$95 currently its a great deal. If you are looking for a new motherboard that officialy supports 400 mhz fsb i recommend either the ASUS A7N8X Deluxe Rev. 2 or the Abit NF7-S Rev. 2, both of which are great for overclocking.

can these barton 2500+ `s be clocked with standard HSF ? my m8 has 1

I have a 2700+ which i can clock to 2.3 ghz no problem, but I have an uprated (coolmaster jet 7) HSF and some delta screamers in my case.

//edit - Question answered, lol

Well I got an Athlon 2600+ Thourghbred !!!

So if I was to get Barton 2500+ I can get it to 3200+ speeds ?

Sounds sweet :D Just need to sell the 2600+ then !

I have a A7N8X-X and a 2500+ Barton.

I can run at 200Mhz, but my Crucial PC2700 doesn't like it (I don't think these paticular sticks like my mobo at all, actually...). It was a real ordeal to bump FSB and raise core and mem voltage and whatnot to get it to not only boot at 200Mhz, but run for a while too...I said, too much work (even though the performace (especially memory) was great at 200Mhz) and not enough stablity, and decided I could wait till I got better ram.

So, I am compromising. Every day or so I bump the multiplier. I'm gonna leave the voltage alone I think, and just find out what the chip //wants// to run at. I am at 2.08Ghz now 12.5x166, 7-3-3-2.5 (aggressive memory timings, lol...)

The included heatsink is complete crap. Either that or the TIM that they include for heat transfer got confused with the thermal insulator at the factory. I took off the stock HS, grabbed my $7 speeze, didn't even bother to scrape off the old TIM crap which was still left on the CPU, sorta smeared around the little Artic Silver that was left on the bottom of the Speeze and it still cools a lot better. At 500RPM less.

ok well i should get my 2500+, Thermaltake Silent boost & pc3200 ram tommorow :)

but i have one last question.

i think a 3200 is clocked at around 2.3ghz ish, now if you overclock any of these processors to like 2.4+ what does the bios/windows recognize it as ? there is obviously no 3400 or whatever

the 3200+ runs at 2.2Ghz, it isn't really worth overclocking any more than that on standard cooling, the perfmormance increases will be minimal. Is you go above that, the bios will recognize it as AMD Athlon XP (speed ghz).

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
