JBoDEAN 0 Posted May 22, 2000 I need some advice on upgrading. My current system configuration is listed below. I am trying to decide if I should get a celeron 566 and overclock it to around 800 mhz, or buy a Pentium 600 mhz I play Q3a, Flight Sim 2000, FLY2k!, and Half life. Just curious on what you all suggest. ------------------ [Here is my system] Intel Celeron 366 @ 550 Abit BE6 Rv1 Creative Labs TNT2 Ultra Soundblaster Live! Value w/ cambridge 4 point speakers Pioneer 6x dvd / 12 x cdrom SCSI Drive 3com 905b-cmb network card Panasonic 4x scsi burner IBM Deskstar 13.5g 7200rpm DMA/66 Western Digital 14g 5400rpm DMA/66 256m PC-100 CS2 ram BoDEAN http://www.sammyhagar.net Share this post Link to post
ledzeppel 0 Posted May 22, 2000 Well I'm not sure what that BE6 is capable of. So here goes: If it can do 133/33 (FSB/PCI bus), get yourself a 550E or 600E and run at 733 or 800EB. If it can't do that, get yourself a Asus CUBX with same processor. This is assuming PC133 ram of course. If money is tight, get the celeron II 566 @ 850 with pc100 memory present.

ledzeppel 0 Posted May 22, 2000 hmmm...that CAS 2 ram of yours might work at 133 CAS 3...most I know do, as long as it is CAS 2 PC100. Share this post Link to post
