Based on my experence, that top of the line intel processor is easiest to overclocking. I once help one of my coworker overclock his 333 to 415 (83 MHz bus speed) and the machine works perfectly, but that was when 333 is fastest processor. I am not sure how easy it is now. But i have to agree this is the best way if i can! >Most "dualie" machines are built like this (buy your own motherboard and >processors, plug them in and go). I build my Pentium Pro this way, but only get one CPU with a dual slot motherboard. Much to my surprise, Pentium Pro's price remain pretty much same, but PII.... Any way, if some body has a spare Prntium Pro 200, i am happy to have it. it is slow, and useless for computer chess anyway :) > Otherwise, you get into the "server" >pricing with most companies, and pay highly inflated prices... > >You might log on to ICC and talk to either Mike Byrne (fitter) or Jason >Deines (jasondes) as both have recently done this quite economically. > >Other ways would be to visit www.pricewatch.com, which has prices for >dualie (and quad) boards... Thanks, I will check these out. Ren (renw@iname.com)
