Reply: (edit)You'll be able to overclock a LOT higher with a 2500+ mobile & it's about 1/2 the price of a 3200+ desktop CPU. 2.5GHz is "normal" & many report hitting 2.6GHz+. And with the money you save on the CPU, you can invest in some PC3500 RAM (or better). Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @ 8 x 210MHz 512MB PC3200 Asus Ti4200 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro
