Old school help

Jeffro64 · #1 12-20-2009

Hey guys... I have a older puter here that I put together cheap for my mom long ago. It is an ABIT NF8-V board with a AMD Sempron 2800+ CPU installed.

My mom just got a new puter and wanted me to fix this one up for my dad, so I put a few new parts in ( GPU, New PSU and more ram) and installed Vista Ultimate 64. The CPU is clocked at 1.67Ghz and was having anything to do with being OC'd very much without getting the good ole BSOD, so I thought I would upgrade the CPU a bit to have Vista running a little better. NOTE: It ran much better when OC'd but was having the BSOD's.

I have found two Athlon 64 chips for cheap but I wanted to see what you guy's thought about which would be better and might OC better also. There are differences in speed on the Mhz and on the HT Mhz so I wanted to run it by y'all first.

Here are the two i'm looking at.... And thanks for any help you can give!
