Hello: I just picked up a 2500 Mobile CPU. It's currently running @ 2.5Ghz ( 12 * 210 ). Anyone getting better speeds? Chris.

Hi all, I know that this is an overlocking newsgroup, but I was wondering if you guys could help me.. I have a 2500+ running on an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe Mobo. It seems that when I go to the Control Panel - System -General, it shows that I am only getting 1.09Ghz out of it. I think the default...

I have Abit KV-7 (VIA KT600), and 2 X 256 MB RAM PC3200/400 MHz (Kingmax) I tried to overclock it, and the maximum is 170 MHz FSB. If I go above 170 MHz It wont boot, or it wont start windows (Win XP Pro SP1). I tried to raise Vcore (1.7 V and 1,75 V) and its same as before. Temp of CPU is 45 C max...

I have a 2500+ (not overclocked--it's doing 1837.xx mhz) on a K7N2 Delta-L mobo with the stock heatsink/fan combo, and I'm getting CPU temps of 61-63 celsius while doing normal tasks (such as writing this post). This seems a mite high...I added a second intake fan the other day and that didn't...

Hello, I am just putting together a new computer for my mother. I got: Asus A7N8X-X AMD 2500+ 333 Elixir 3200 unbuffered DDR 512mb She had an 120GB WD Hard Drive (for storage) Power supply is 400 watts (not a brand name, came with the case)

With all this 2500 craze I am beginning to wonder if I should get the 2500+ 333 instead of 2600+ 333 which goes for the same price. So far looking at nf7-s v2.0 athlon 2500+ 333 512K samsung SP1614 160gig HD Antec 3700bqe case 2x512MB PC3200 RAM, will the $57 OEM pricewatch memory work? Or should...

My 2500+ is now running at 3200+, I only increased the FSB, I didn't start tweaking anything else yet, the bios in my Soltek FRN2-L is set to optimal settings. My temps after just quiting a game of DOD a CPU Die: 34C ABS II: 35C RT1 33C The highest I've been able to get it was 40C running...

Hi, Just received the 2500XP-M but it won't touch 200FSB. It's running stable now at 2075 MHz . The maximum I can reach at 200FSB is 1600MHz (200x8.0). No amount of voltage could make it go any higher. Strange considering it's running fine at 2GHz with 1.65v. 1. Is there anyway to...

I have an Athlon 2500XP Barton, ATI 9500, 512 MB Kingston HyperX PC3200 (one bank), MSI K7N2 NForce2 MB, a 60GB and a 120GB IBM/Hitachi's. I was running the FSB at 200MHz and the memory at 7-2-2-2 with very stable performance. I'm not really trying to OC the cpu at this point. I have the stock...

Just ordered a 2500XP-M but i only have a 333fsb board. Its the gigabyte GA7VA-XP. Im thinking of using the multiplier to clock the chip (can go up to 18 on this board). I think you can up the fsb from 166 toward 200 in the bios, but not sure how far it can go. Also, i have PC2700 memory, what...

Hello, I am getting a new motherboard, 256 Mb memory and an Athlon XP2600+. I already have a Geforce2, one HD and 2 cd-roms. The question is, will a 250W PSU be enough to power the hardware? Thanks.

I have an Athlon 2600+ 333 mildly overclocked to 12x180 sync (normal is 12.5 x 166) on a Asus A7N8X-deluxe 1.04 using BIOS 1007. All voltages are standard. My computer boot-up screen reports my computer as a 2400+. WCPUID also shows the name string as "AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+" Can anyone tell...

I asked a few days ago what the fastest cpu for a Abit KR7a with raid. I was directed to a google sight that told me a 2600xp is the fastest i can go but only the one with 266fsb. So i did a little shopping around and saw a 2600xp with 256k cache and one with 384k cache. Now I never heard of...

well after much self debating I am just after your advice guys. I am looking to upgrade my cpu which is a 1900xp. Thought my choice was a xp2600 but Wes says i can use a barton 2800+ MP. I asked around and one guy said don't get the Barton and just buy a new motherboard and get a 64bit...

As I posted last week, I've installed a 2600+ 266Mhz Athlon on an Asus A7A266 motherboard (BIOS version 1012). All went well at first; the chip was automatically recognised with the following BIOS settings: CPU Speed 2133MHz CPU Frequency Multiple 16x CPU/PCI...
