Question on this AMD

pinstripe007 · Feb 14, 2004, 09:36 PM

I am curious if anyone knows anything about this AMD CPU...how it is? how it overclocks?

AMD Mobile Athlon XP 2400+, 266FSB, 512K Cache

Thanks for any input!

Since its "Mobile", its made for laptops. I think that mobile chips are more effiicient heat wise, so they dont need as large\noisy heatsink as others do, and to extend battery life by alot. Prob. not a great OC'er, and may not at all:\

I beg to differ

, I see people putting it in a DFI Lanparty B and in NF7-S. I read some reviews on Newegg (granted hard to believe some of them), that they are getting some serious overclocking results. Plus, unlocked cpus...is it time to say bye bye to the +2500 Barton?? Still planning to get that CPU, but if this Mobile chip does what it does, maybe it's time to rethink...

some guy is selling 3000+ Mobile barton's on e-bay.... $150... 10.... each clocks at 200fsbx11 without a hitch... (1.65 volt)... all seem to hit 2.6ghz without a problem to..... temps 40*C... pretty amazing cpu's....

Found a Mobile 2500 for $89.00...I think I am going with that one becuase people have been hitting 2.5-2.7 just on air and a lower voltage. It sounds real good...
