overclocking processer

i am thinking of getting a amd athlon xp 3000 for 162
but woundingering if i could just get a amb athlong xp 2500 or 2600
and just overclock it to run around a 3000 (2.1ghz) and save 50-60 bucks good idea?

BTW how do u overclock ur procceser .lol

'Google overclocking' but proceed with care. and some sellers already have done the job for you.

when you overclock your going to creat more heat so the 50-60 dollars your going to save will have to be spent on cooling. . . . that said overclocking is really only good when your processor gains a little age and you wanna get it to catch up or for gaming freaks who want the extra umph . . but its not a good way to save money. what you wanna do is a small overclock so might get away with it on some good air cooling say about 50 + dollars on a good heat pipe heat sink and some fans, if not youll have to shell out a good 200 on water cooling
