random guy Posted June 1, 2004 Author Share Posted June 1, 2004 Maybe, but my budget will only stretch to an athlon- 2600, a p2.4 or a celeron p2.8, so I figure I may as well get the celeron p2.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you're not careful. Just make sure there is proper cooling and don't overclock too much and everything should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 50 to 60 MHz higher then it's normal stock is theoritically still good on stock cooling. BTW Celerons aren't overclockable anymore since 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Actually Lite-On DVD-/+R drives are practically the best you can get. Affordable and it works all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gino Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 50 to 60 MHz higher then it's normal stock is theoritically still good on stock cooling. BTW Celerons aren't overclockable anymore since 1998.My Celeron 700 mhz is overclocked to 1 ghz using the stock cooling fan and Asus mobo (it was designed to overclock through the bios) and I'm pretty sure its like 2 years old at most. A lot of reviews out there claim that the LG DVD burner is the best so far but its only of what i read... ---- to random guy As for the specs, everything looks good, but I would consider you invest in the SATA HDDs they have out now, faster and the tech is newer and the price is very minimal. soon the ATA are going to be out dated or already are. Sidenote: I bought an 80G WD and it makes this funny *clunk* sound everytime i shut it down completely and it powers back up and I tend to try out a Maxtor for my next HDD. My friends have told me that Maxtor is the top HDD brand out there and since WD was bought out or WD has maxtor parts... something on the lines of that...
