athlon xp 2000+:
http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=AX2000DMT3C

the 1600+ clocks at 1.4, 2000+ clocks at 1.67
the 1600+ is 99.00 2000+ is 76.00?!?!
and also, im thinking of buying the 2000+ but it says used(so do most of them at compgeeks) is that okay if its used?

[eclipsera]

if i get the 2000+ i am going to get this mobo:

is that a good one for that cpu?

[cunokyle]

I would say as long as it has a warranty with it, go for it!

[eclipsera]

alright, will do.. as soon as i get the money, hopefully end of this month willget it.

edit, what about the mobo?

[cunokyle]

I do not know about that mobo, have read a few posts saying it is a great mobo. Maybe someone who has one will give a little more feedback on their experiences.

I noticed that with Lite-On burners at newegg. The 16x burner is ~$20 higher than the 48x burner.

lol..

The price diff is because one is a "MP" CPU and the other is a Desktop processor.

I do hope you noticed that they were USED ?

Personally, I never use any HD or CPU that is not NEW.

check with;

Damn, beat me to it, I saw the MP in the first chips url, and XP in the second, and thought that immediately.

And Used? wtf, how is that possible? If it is used, I'd stay away..

I'll add another vote to don't get used hardware.

I'd never buy a used CPU, hard disk, memory, or motherboard. Actually I have bought used memory before, but it was from a friend. I'd wouldn't purchase it from an unknown party or through a dealer of used junk. No matter how cheap it is, it won't be worth the headaches.
