Its £90 for mobo cpu and xp-90 and 92mm panaflo fan, just think its pretty good as i can hang on to my agp card for a bit longer.

Its the 3400 venice, ive been reading around and there sposted to be pretty good clockers and yes there are aparrantly rare but its not the 3000+.

yeah man its £90 all in including shipping ect that why i thinks its a good deal, but all im after in a bit more power in loading games etc so hopefully it should be fine for my needs and it gets me into the 64bit scene i know its only a socket 754 but it lets me keep me agp card which i find fine in most games.

I know its a dead socket but, all im after is bit more power and actually be able 2 run my memory at its rated speed at the mo all i can run is 220 due 2 the chipset, and with the a64 i can ave some fun in the bios, got bord of overclocking my mobile and cant really afford a core duo 2 at the minite, and find my graphics card alright at the mo, and i recon £90 for Venice @ 2.8ghz, xp-90c panaflo fan and a dfi lanparty nf3 and shipin from america aint all that bad, i know it outdated but its better than the 1 i got, and seeing next time i upgrade ill have to change every thing like memory the lot, i recon its ok for now,
