I've one old Abit mobo with nForce4 Ultra chipset, socket AM2 that supports Athlon 64 (X2) CPUs. I suppose it can be base for a system that will be usable in nowadays, but I don't have suitable processor for it. So far I found some local ads for couple of cheap (EUR2.5 to 5) Athlon 64 X2 CPUs, but I'm completely forgotten which one has potential to be good CPU for overclocking. I remember that back in the days 3 to 3.2 GHz was possible on air for these CPUs and (maybe) the older Windsor core was better then Brisbane. Here they are:
#1 Athlon 64 X2 3800+, Windsor core (90 nm), ADO3800IAA5CU (F2): 2000 MHz, 10x, 2x512 kB cache, 1.20-1.25 V (doesn't worth the tryout)
#2 Athlon 64 X2 4400+, Brisbane core (65 nm), ADO4400IAA5DO (G2): 2300 MHz, 11.5x, 2x512 kB cache, 1.325-1.375 V (same as #1)
#3 Athlon 64 X2 5400+, Brisbane core (65 nm), ADO5400IAA5DO (G2): 2800 MHz, 14x, 2x512 kB cache, 1.325-1.375 V (not available at the time I decided to buy this one)
#4 Athlon 64 X2 5600+, Brisbane core (65 nm), ADO5600IAA5DO (G2): 2900 MHz, 14.5x, 2x512 kB cache, 1.325-1.375 V (possible problems with RAM dividers??? and inferior performance to 5600+ Windsor 2800 MHz clock-by-clock)
I'm asking for advise which processor on the list would be best for overclocking on air and why.
UPDATE: None of these are worthy/available. Adding another candidate in the price range up to EUR6:
#5 Athlon 64 X2 5600+, Windsor core (90 nm), ADA5600IAA6CZ (F3): 2800 MHz, 14x, 2x1024 kB cache, 1.30-1.35 V (89 W).
