Ordered a new processor today, I ordered the XP 2600+. Should I have gotten the Barton 2500 instead? I went with clock speed over cache, both are the same price. Would the slower Barton's extra cache be better for video capturing/editing?

will be installing Athlon XP 2500+ on NF7-S v2.0 with Corsair 1GB PC3200 2x64x64 (2x512MB) DDR 184Pin (VS1GBKIT400) and BFG FX5900. I know nothing about this bios, could anyone please go through which settings to choose? I understand that I should set it to 200x11 for 3200+ performance but...

Alledgedly I bought this from a shop online claiming they are pre week 39 so are unlocked AXDA2800DKV4D Z400995B41099 AQYHA0409RPA I've looked these numbers up on the following site http://mp3.zonebg.com/cpu/cpu.php

I am running a 2600 Barton on an Epox 8KRA2+ which will run at 166FSB and 13.5 multiplier. I decided to have a play to try and tweak the OC so that it ran closer to stock 3200 speed, so I tried 163FSB and 13x but it fails to boot. Now that I dont understand, I could understand if I had upped...

Hey, I have a dual-CPU box running AMD Athlon MP 2100s. I'm using the heatsinks and fans that came with the chips, but they're very loud. I want to replace them with something substantially quieter, but I have no idea what is appropriate. I would appreciate advice on this! (Note: CPUs aren't...

ASUS A7V266-E bios 1011 - AMD thunderbird XP 2400 - 3x256 DDR266 RAM - boot up screen advises "keyboard error" - so, I press F1 and she goes windows 98se sometimes, sometimes only to the windows startup screen - when it goes to windows, no mouse action at all - had this problem once before and...

I'm looking at a mobo/CPU replacement in the near future, and will probably get the 3800+ X2. But, I have a nice BFG 6800GT Oc'ed to 425/1150 (VGA), and don't want to buy another video card just yet. What chipset should I look at? The nForce4 Ultra will only take a PCIx vid card. I don't plan...

Hopefully this is not a stupid question - If I order a XP2500+, can I asume that it will always BE a Barton AMD ATHLON XP2500+ 333MHz FSB Barton 512k L2 Cache? Just double checking.

I presently have an Athlon XP-2400+ T-Bred CPU in a now rather oldish Epox 8KHA+ Via KT-266 motherboard. This chip is unlocked and I have been running it at 16X140.8 or 2252.73MHz (WCPUID) for some time now with NO problem. I am wondering if I should swap out my T-Bred for a Mobile XP-M...

I don't know if this is well known or not but AMD has used different criteria in giving the Sempron line of cpu's its PR numbers. So don't buy a Sempron 3100+ expecting it to be faster than an Athlon 64 3000+. Because it's nowhere close to as fast. AMD ommitted a bunch of the benchmarks used for...

Hello all, I'm looking for a Barton 2500+ unlocked in OEM. I had a look at Newegg.com and Gameve.com, it's the same stepping : AXDA2500DKV4D. Since it's incomplete and without the week information, i don't know if they're unlocked. Has anybody ordered there *very* recently ? I'd like to be sure...

Hi - I have ordered one AMD 64 FX-51 cpu and a MSI K8T800 Master2-FAR Dual/Single Socket 940 motherboard to put it on. This particular motherboard supports dual processors. What I'd like to know (that I have not been able to find out thru MSI) is if it supports dual FX-51's or if I have to run...

Hi. Muy quest is to OC sempron2800+ from stock 2Ghz to at leat 2,4Ghz but after aplying FSB190 mhz my comp dosent start(black screen).

Is this cpu unlocked, I'm thinking of having a go at overclocking. -- G© Back of the net www.14si.karoo.net

I've got a Barton 2800+ and a Gigabyte 7NNXP mobo - AMD uses the term clock multiplier (and recommends 12.5x166mhz) and the Award BIOS on the mobo has the term "CPU ratio" which doesn't have an option of 12.5 (12 and 13 are there though). So is the CPU ratio the same as clock multiplier and I can...

I am new to the world of AMD processors and I would like to know - without opening the case - what type of processor is in the PC. When I check via the BIOS I see AMD Duron 1300, the vendor claims it's "AMD 1800+". Apparently rules are different compared with Intel so I am looking for the advice...
