Thanks for the input! Do you think it's worth to upgrade to a 754 A64 3000 on a new ASUS 754 mobo or will it not give a earl performace boost compared to my old Epox 8RDA+ with XP2100 @ 2700? Same RAM: twinmos 2*256 and 1*512 3200 DDR. There is a cheaper choise to just get a socket A mobo and wait another year...

Do you mean an XP2100 overclocked to a PR of 2700+ or 2.7GHz?
If a PR of 2700 you will definitely see an improvement in games but if you mean 2.7GHz then you probably wouldn't because unless you are using extreme cooling probably most 754 CPUs won't get to 2.7GHz.

It is just 2700+, I wouldn't know what a setup would look like to get 2.7 GHz out of that cpu \:D Just air chilled, that's all.

Clock for clock you are looking at ~15% improvement in games (some way more, some less) with an AMD64 v Athlon XP.
The lowest PR rating AMD64 that you can buy is 2800+ & of course you can overclock ...
I run my AMD64 3000+ at 3400+ settings & my 3700+ is somewhere over 4000+ (2.7GHz v stock 2.4GHz).

Thanks mates. You know of any compatibility problems with ASUS mobos and TwinMOS DDR memory?

Do you think I will be able to clock a AMD64 3000+ at 3400+ with stock cpu cooler?

If o/c'ing AMD64s DFI Lanpartys are getting the best results. I'm running an Asus A8N SLI Deluxe, At stock it's solid. When I o/c I have to relax the Ram settings to the point where I'm robbing Peter to pay Paul. The ram I'm using is Mushkin Level2 V2 Dual Channel Spd rated at 2-2-2-6. Check the Motherboard forums at http://www.overclockers.com for more details.

TwinMOS use a no. of different mfrs modules on their RAM so it's hard to be exact but in general, no.

I do so hopefully you can too. \:\)

Thanks guys, I've now been shopping and have a nice ASUS K8N-E Deluxe (socket 754), a AMD64 3000+ and a Arctic cooler silencer 64 cpu fan. Today I'll be building!

TomW, sorry for hijacking your thread \:\)

When I've got it running, I'll be interested in advice how to overclock a bit. Now, where's that screwdriver... \:\)

I might be to late, but get the Abit NF7-S v2.0 for the AXP. Great board.

I would tend to agree, this Abit board has been a huge improvement over my Asus. I went to an Asus board for its vaunted stability. I was disappointed in the end. Mine couldn't hold its BIOS settings without power connected. It couldn't FSB overclock at all... It gave the occasional CPU hiccup that required some voltage fiddling, although it could CPU overclock well, go figure. It also ran very hot--and fried one processor within RMA period as a result. I did a couple of early OS installs to get it set up smoothly, and a couple of years later it still sputtered. Meanwhile, my year older Epox is still humming along--it had some notable problems early on, but it has been rather resilient.

When I bought the Asus a few years back they were prized for stability, while Abit was a monster fast overclocker but plagued by major customer support issues and frequent sudden motherboard death. About that time the wheels seemed to come off of Asus boards. They were doing very poorly at overclock, particularly FSB (as I can attest.)

Yes, try setting the speeds manually in the BIOS rather than SPD or Auto
