What Intel?

I'm now ready for a couple of processors for a couple of systems i'm building, both 775 pentiums. Having dug around i recon buy low end and overclock to high end, buying high end seems a waste of dosh. Because of the bad press reports in various mags, am i right in thinking the 600's are a better choice than the dual cores at the moment.

Also, is there any reason why the silly 31 segment pipeline? From what i understand it's the only reason Intel are in soooooooooo many doghouses.

I would say get an AMD, but if it must be intel then pentium M would be preferable.

If you already have the motherboards then the 630/640 would be fine.
Might want to wait for the new dual core cpus though they are supposed to be clocking well.

Trouble with waiting for the new core that Intel are about to unleash on the world is their habit of throwing in a new socket for them, Intel's history in that department sucks a little.

Those types of overclocks are just done to prove it can be done.

I do it because i'm skint
