I have a Thunderbird 850Mhz (not overclocked) on a Abit KT7A mobo and want to upgrade the chip. How much faster is a Athlon XP 2400+ (2.00 Core) than my current chip and is it worth the upgrade? Thanks Paul

Okay I have a few processors that just "dont" boot Palomino chips 1700+ and 1800+ pads look okay so they didnt melt off ;) .. Core on both are in a nice solid purple shade, no heat markings at all, one of them looks like it has chippings missing down the side (of the core that is) so i am going...

Hello. My computer is having this chronic problem which I believe is hardware related. I've narrowed it down to either the CPU (Athlon Thunderbird 850 socket A) or the motherboard ( Asus A7V133-VM, VIA KM133 chipset) The problem happens at random, but is more commonly 'provoked' when there are...

I need to know if the XP2500 will run on the Asus barebones Terminator barebones system. The chip is not listed by Asus as a supported chip but I was wondering if it could run the chip at 266FSB instead of 333 ? I placed the order on ebuyer this evening and before I could change the order it was...

Anyone see this? Picked up a motherboard for $20...has anyone bought from this company before? http://www.tigersurplus.com

Just all of a sudden-like my speakers are giving out a low rumble. Disconnected surround sound and tried headphones--same deal. I am running an A7N8X Deluxe motherboard with WinXP (no SP1). Any ideas?

I took the plunge and bought the following; Aopen AK79D-400VN NForce2 Ultra 400 MB AMD Barton 2500+ 2x256MB DDR400 PC3200 Everything works excellent. Right now, as I'm typing this, it just got done it's burn in (Sandra) at 11x200 (2.2 GHz or 3200+ speeds) at a maximum temp of 47ºC. Average was...

It seems possible to purchase Atlon XPs at equal PR ratings yet different types...... What's different about them, say for a processor with a rating of 1800 ? Oh yes.. what does the + sign after the 18OO signify ? What are series 6 or 8 athlons ?

Hi All, Have a Chaintech 200FSB 7AJA0/100 motherboard - anyone know if it will run a 1.3Ghz Duron ? TIA K

I went to Amptron website today. Lo & behold they were advertising not only Amptron(PC Chips} but also ASRock, Albatron & MSI. Do they actually own all these brands too? It was all very interesting as I had not been there in about a year or so.

I purchased two used Duron processors. Both were supposed to be the Morgan core (27067). However, one is marked 27016, which seems to correspond with the Athlon Thunderbird core.I've searched the web for pics of the various AMD CPUs, and it seems that the Duron Spitfire has identical markings to...

Hi all, I purchased an AMD XP2500+ to go with my new Asus A7N8X Deluxe Motherboard. Out of interest, mainly due to a friend informing me that boards with the Nforce2 chipset automatically unlock AMD CPU's, I changed the clock multiplier in the BIOS from 11x to 11.5x. Upon reboot, I found the chip...

Hi, Yesterday I upgraded someones PC with a new Asus A78X-X motherboard and an AMD XP Palomino 1900+ CPU. Under Windows XP Pro SP1A, it displays as an AMD MP 1900+ 1.60 GHZ. Is this correct? Thanks,
