How much of a change would this make

Well, putting off the upgrade now for as long as i can to X2 939. Im thinking of doing this:

-buying 2GB of geil value ram for my current rig in the sig, and carrying it over to my x2 build a lil later on.

-buying a new mobo like a nf7-s to clock my 2500 to a 3200.

Would it be worth it? Would i notice the difference or am i just better of waiting and saving the money for the upgrade in at least 6-7 months. I am a gamer, like BF2 and i do some video encoding here and there. I just want to make sure that im doing the right thing.

Hope you guys get the drift of what im trying to say.

cheers mateys

I have the A7N8X-E Deluxe and have my 2500+ running at 2.2ghz just fine with a single stick of pc3200. So your board should clock the chip fine as well.

hi my board is the via chipset which doesn't allow you to lock pci/agp frequencies..

You'll prolly have to source one second hand.

thats what im trying to do, do you think its worth the bother?

yeah, ive looked in certain places on the net and they aren't cheap, not even second hand

Might just have to wait serveral months to go X2.

Thats already a decent clocking board.....why cant you clock it on what u got?

via kt400 doesnt do 400 fsb due to no pci/agp locks
