Hofy Posted September 19, 2000 Share Posted September 19, 2000 I am about ready to bring my new system online to work as my gateway and file server. I only need the motherboard yet. I have a PIII 533 to go on it. I was wondering if I should try selling my PIII667 and just using the 533 with my current mother board in the new system. The PIII667 is an Engineering Sample by the way(Great for OverClocking). It might bring enough to get an 800 Athlon TBird AND motherboard. Any comments?c> ------------------ SO MUCH TO DO, SO LITTLE TIME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekysteve Posted September 20, 2000 Share Posted September 20, 2000 Hi Hofy, Time and time again, I've compared PIII's to the Athalon's (now the TBirds) and I always end up going with the Athalon over the PIII. But, if you've already got the processor, I'd sell the 667 and use some of the money for a mobo and invest the rest Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofy Posted September 20, 2000 Author Share Posted September 20, 2000 I was going to go Athlon to begin with. When I fried the K6 system AMD was right in the middle of changing over from Slot A to Socket A(462). I didnt want old technology and couldnt get anything Socket A. So I ended up with the 667. Guess I'll through the 533 in the current system and see how the 667 does on eBay. Reserve is $200 (what I paid for it) That should cover the cost of a new Athlon TBird. Have to buy a Mobo even if I keep the 667.c> ------------------ SO MUCH TO DO, SO LITTLE TIME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofy Posted September 23, 2000 Author Share Posted September 23, 2000 For those interested, I have posted my 667ES on eBay. Item #447760525 and reserve is $200. I paid $208. Hope I raise enough for a TBird and an Asus A7V mobo. (Thanks for the input Steve!)c> ------------------ SO MUCH TO DO, SO LITTLE TIME.
