Can anyone help me?
Im living in australia, and retail stores cant tell me whether im buying a tbred b or a tbred A.
Theyre saying that the 1700s, 2100s, and the 2200s are thoroughbreds but not saying A or B.

So whats my best bet, between the 2100 and the 2200 of getting a tbred b?

2200 has fewer T-Bred Bs. According to Overclockers.com

Quote:

As of now (1/15/03), no TBredBs have been sighted at this speed [2200+].

Newegg.com's 2100+ that they have on sale says this: Type: 2100 XP Thoroughbred (revision B)

thanks, think ill change my order to a 2100 thoroughbred, get a B instead of an A, because im sure a low end B still o/c's better than a tbred A. With the extra money ill swap my Western Digital 80 for another 80 but with 8mb cache.

another thing tho, my motherboard only has multipliers up to 12.5 selectable via dipswitches... its a real bugger, if thats the case how am i going to be able to overclock it without cranking the fsb... my board is a Gigabyte Ga- 7Vrxp rev 1.0. Anyone know of any ways to get multipliers of above 12.5? the bios doesnt have it anywhere.
