hey guys, i want to breath a little bit of new life into my old system before moving onto dual core, what is the fastest 754 processor? i currently have athlon 3200 stock 2.2ghz oc'ed to 2.45 (im getting a new heatsink monday, hopefully that'll allow me to oc it more...)

thanks

Unfortunatley, socket 754 processors have been discontinued, so good luck finding one.

The fastest one using 754 mobile (which looks the same as a regular 754) was the Athlon 64 4000+ Which was only 2.6 MHz but was a great overclocker.

This is currently the only 754 on Newegg you can buy new: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819104240

EDIT- I might have found the fastest desktop one, the Athlon 64 3700+ http://www.penstarsys.com/reviews/tech/amd/a64_3700/3700_4.htm

ANOTHER EDIT- According to Wikipedia, there is no difference between 754 Mobile and 754 desktop! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_754
 
yh the fastest 754 is the 3700+ my mate had a pc just before the 939 came out, and didnt like the fact that that was the fastest 754 cpu out
 
Both of you with your CPUs are wrong. The fasted was an AMD Athlon 64 3800+, but you might still be able to get one.
 
Don't bother with it. That 3800 isn't drastically faster.
754 was a dark socket for AMD. 939 was great though.
