Hi,
Palominos were manufactured using a 0.18 micron fabrication process and
Thoroughbreds ('A' and 'B' core)using a 0.13 micron process, Palomino's
don't overclock very well at all whereas Thoroughbreds (particularly 'B'
core) overclock very well. Hope this helps,
Dave.

Palomino - Multiplier locked - typicaly clocks to about 1800Mz.
Tbred A core - Multiplier unlocked - typicaly clocks to about 1900Mz.
Tbred B core - Multiplier unlocked - typicaly clocks to about 2400Mz.
Barton core - Multiplier unlocked - typicaly clocks to about 2400Mz, 521K
L2 cache.

Clock rates will vary depending on particular cpu, cooling, and power
provided.

Palomino, Thoroughbred, and Barton are internal code names for
different
revisions of the AMD AthlonT XP processor. Palomino refers to the
original AMD Athlon XP processor (Model 6), while Thoroughbred (Model
8)
and Barton (Model 10) refer to subsequent revisions of the AMD Athlon
XP
processor. The differences between these processors are detailed in the
table below.

The Palomino, Thoroughbred, and Barton processors may be differentiated
by their ordering part numbers (OPN). The Palomino's OPN is located on
the processor die, and begins with the letters "AX" (e.g.,
"AX2100DMT3C"). The Thoroughbred's and Barton's OPNs are located on
black labels on the processors' packages (not on the die) and begin
with
the letters "AXDA" (e.g., "AXDA3000DKV4D"). The Thoroughbred can be
distinguished from the Barton by the alpha-numeric character that is
second from the end of the OPN. A "3" represents the Thoroughbred's
256KB L2 cache, while a "4" represents the Barton's 512KB L2 cache
(e.g., "AXDA2700DKV3D" would be a Thoroughbred, "AXDA3000DKV4D" would
be
a Barton).

Suddenly everyone's a smartass...


Sorry, Just trying to help.

I know dude, I was just kidding. Hence the *g*

Thanks for all that, very helpful but what happens if i wanna buy a chip
that will over clock well ie a 'B' core chip will i have to look in the shop
and ask for the code on the chip in order to find out what it is?
