Differences between Thunderbird, Palomino, Barton ?
lost a écrit : Are motherboards autodetecting & setting the FSB speed by instruction from the CPU now? yes.. all 4 of my athlon boards do that. I wanted to upgrade one of them with a speedier athlon that's why I needed help to figure out which one was which.. Autodetection is a very handy, so long as you plug in an athlon which the bios is programmed to recognize. Plug one that's too fast (or too slow) and you can kill it. This happened to me. It was almost subliminal. There was no puff of smoke. No smell.. Just a dead 70 buck worth of high tech. |

Nystagmus a écrit : AMD ATHLON XP 2600 /333 FSB PROCESSOR CPU- OEM - US $94.00 Specifications: CPU: 2.08 GHz Type: XP 2600 Thoroughbred Cache: 256K BUS: 333MHz Socket A OEM (Processor Only) AMD ATHLON XP 2600+ Barton 333MHz FSB PROCESSOR CPU- OEM US $98.00 Specifications: CPU: 1.9 GHz Type: XP 2600 Barton Core Cache: 512K L2 BUS: 333MHz Socket A OEM (Processor Only) Both XP 2600+ each with a different CPU: GHz and Cache sizes. couldn't be clearer ! |

yes.. all 4 of my athlon boards do that. I wanted to upgrade one of
them with a speedier athlon that's why I needed help to figure out which one was which.. Autodetection is a very handy, so long as you plug in an athlon which the bios is programmed to recognize. Plug one that's too fast (or too slow) and you can kill it. This happened to me. It was almost subliminal. There was no puff of smoke. No smell.. Just a dead 70 buck worth of high tech. your getting a little too technical really Think of it this way.. the chip has 5 switches, all are open or closed so you have a possible 25 different switch positions those switches controle voltage.. now the motherboards use a standardised (usually) voltage regulation chip that takes of course the input from the 5 switches.. so virtually every time the chip will request the correct voltage ... Now think of the multiplier and the fsb in the exact same way.. Here is where the problem comes in.. something like a athlonxp 3000 might use 5 bits to request voltage and fsb and mutliplier but if the motehrboard is too old then those bits will be driven low (closed) and you end up getting a voltage/fsb/multiplier that's LOWER than what the chip request (if I am wrong then feel free anyone to correct me on this).. now from that stand point TECHNICALLY SPEAKING you should be 100% okay 100% of the time to put say any athlon/duron/athlonxp chip in any athlon/duron/athlonxp board without them destroying each other |

"mcheu" wrote in message ... The 2600+ doesn't have a varying FSB. From what I understand, there are two versions of it that are sold as XP2600+. An earlier 133/266 FSB version (Palomino), and a later production version which is a 166/333 part (Barton). From www.newegg.com AMD ATHLON XP 2600 /333 FSB PROCESSOR CPU- OEM - US $94.00 Specifications: CPU: 2.08 GHz Type: XP 2600 Thoroughbred Cache: 256K BUS: 333MHz Socket A OEM (Processor Only) AMD ATHLON XP 2600+ Barton 333MHz FSB PROCESSOR CPU- OEM US $98.00 Specifications: CPU: 1.9 GHz Type: XP 2600 Barton Core Cache: 512K L2 BUS: 333MHz Socket A OEM (Processor Only) Both XP 2600+ each with a different CPU: GHz and Cache sizes. Thanks. I was starting to wonder if I had halucinated it. ======================== Thanks MCheu |

It should default to the lowest fsb available and the default multiplier. Same for ram, minimum settings. IOW, i want it to boot when I plug it in, even if there's a problem. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.html |
