Barton v Thoroughbred
I recall a few months ago there was a discussion about the pros and cons of
the Barton v Thoroughbred processor. Do I remember correctly that the Barton is slower than the the Thbd even tho it runs at 333? And one chip has a larger core for more reliable heat disipation... someone help me put this back together? thanks "a mind is a terrible thing to lose" Dan Quayle |

Get a T'bred XP1700 for $50 and run it at 2GHz+ The mutipliers on them are unlocked below 12.5x so you could run it at 200x10 too. What fun. |

I have never damaged a CPU by overclocking it. I had a Celeron 366 running
at 550 for years and still have Duron 750 running at 933. They were $50 marvels just like the T'bred XP1700 is today. No fancy HSF needed either, just a good $10 one. Stability is the major pitfall. If you can convert a DVD movie to SVCDs in the summer time then you are pretty damn stable. That runs the CPU at 100% for 6 hours or so and really stresses memory. In any event, as long as you can choose a mutiplier you can always drop MHz down a bit to achieve stabilty, something you could not do with the old locked Celerons. "JK" wrote in message ... I don't recommend that people overclock, especially by such large margins. If you do this and destroy your cpu, don't expect to get a free replacement. Also don't post here that you are angry that your AMD processor was destroyed. rAD wrote: "Andre_Mc" wrote in message ...
