.13 XP Athlon

[engracio]

Does anybody know if the Athlon XP newegg.com is selling are the T-bred "B" version yet. Can anybody see in a quick glance if it is the newer one or the older. Thanks. About to pick two cpu for a duallie. Would buy later if it is still the older version.

my 2400 is a rev B so its .13 what processor speed are you talking about? amd 2400 - 2800 are .13 some 2200's are revB. Im not sure if AMD has made the switch yet on the other athalons yet.

Thanks, I was thinking of the 2000-2200 speed.

I have 2200+mp and its a .13 I belive.. its a very small core.. it looks like the .13.. I didn't read the black lable before I put it on.. I made sure the 2 chips were the same before putting them on the baord.. but I got mine from newegg.. best thing to do.. is email them. they will let you know..

Thanks DG, I was just going to get the regular XP instead of the MP. Do the mod which I have done on 4 XP cpu's 2 1800+/2 2000+ and slap it on my third duallie.

I guess nobody really know if the regular/retail 2000-2200 XP's are the newer T-bred versions.

Will email newegg and ask them what version they have. Thanks.

Hey, engracio!

I saw a site about this before...

What did you use to make it work? (Dualies out of XPs, that is...)

What board(s) do you use for it, and has it been as stable as a single XP or Dual MP?

Thanks!

davidamarkley,

I initially got the idea from this link: http://www.xtremepccentral.com/vbfor...?threadid=2427


Then my first duallie is this: http://www.xtremepccentral.com/articles/ga-7pdxdw/

My second is the MSI Master K7D dual mobo without the lan.

Both frequent this forum. Hope you can use their info.

Well got the email back from newegg.com:

me:
"Just wondering if the Retail version you have on sale for the 2000-2200 XP cpu's are the newer .13 version of T-bred or the older .18 version. Thanks."


Newegg.com:
"They are generally the .18 version unless we specifically say .13 on the website. Hope this information was helpful, have a nice day."

Can't get to the point more than that.

It seems to me that each of the earlier XPs (1700-2100) have both available to you. Each type has a denoted 0.13 micron chip, as well as the old 0.18; so you should be able to get whichever fits you without too much trouble

The 2200+ is a 0.13 micron only chip, they didn't make any Palominos in the 2200+.

Happy Holidays

I think most of the retail boxes are Palominos. Does anyone know how much better the Thoroughbreds are? I want to buy retail box so I can get the 3 year warranty and heat sink and fan.
