Im putting together a spec for my mate, and he simply cant afford a 939 rig,
so will the performance increase from a XP 2500 @ 2.4 (my old cpu!) to a socket 754 3000+ (newcastle core) be dramatic?
Everything else will stay the same (1gb corsair value, ti4200 128mb).
I dont want him thinking hes paid me to do this for no gain at all.
He does allot of dvd burning (ahem) and occasional gaming.
And how are the asus barebones systems for overclocking (if at all)
