Fastest KT7 cpu today ?
fastest is xp3200 best value if your lucky is to buy 2600 and overclock to
2400mhz eg 3400 "Morgan Ohlson" wrote in message ... Hi folks! I know there are some people that knows almost everything about Abit and AMD-cpu's around here. Which is the fastest cpu for a KT7 (socket A) mobo today? (no OC, no cpu-mod.) Which is most likely the best budget alternativ as above? Thanks! Morgan O. |

Which is most likely the best budget alternativ as above? Get a 2100+ Tbred *B* core and plug it in. it will default to 20x100 (2000MHz). If you don't want to run at that speed you can change it via the bios user defined settings. B cores are designed to run up to 2250MHz (2800+), so don't consider it overclocked til you go over that speed. The default vcore for the 2800+ is 1.65v. Don't consider it overvolting until you go higher than 1.65v. See sig line. Read link below. www.newegg,com sells the 2100+ B core for $67. Just make sure it says B core in the ad, as they may sell other versions too. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.html |

The B stands for the second generation of the Thoroughbred core. The original (non B, referred to as A) core had problems and wouldn't clock over about 1900MHz. The B has 1 or 2 extra layers and runs cooler and a lot faster. It probab;y would have been better if they had changed the core name, but they didn't. They did however change the cpuid from 680 to 681. All cpu's 2400+ and higher are b cores. 2200+ are either A or B. Slower then 2200+'s can be Palomino, A, or B core Tbreds. Obviously the B core is the desired core. What is the second best choice, if I can't lay hands on a 2100+Tb B-core ? Without modding the cpu, a 2400+ will work the same as the 2100+ B core. If you want to cut a couple of bridges on the cpu, or wire the 5th bit high on the older MB's, then you can use any B core Tbred. The 1700+ being the most popular because it's the cheapest. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.html |

I just looked in buy User's manual for my KT7 Raid KT-133 board. The user defined multiplier goes up to 12.5. What am I not understanding, when you are talking 20X100 and 24X100? Will the bios default to a higher setting? I am really considering doing this. Thanks On Mon, 04 Aug 2003 14:16:59 +0000, Morgan Ohlson wrote: Hi folks!
