2400+ 2500+ 2600+ Mobile Bartons back @ newegg

I put one of these Barton-M Xp2400 in an Asus A7N266-VM, which does not have multiplier adjustment and (due to integrated nForce1 video) is FSB limited to ~175MHz or so. Solution I used was to burn one or two (forget which ATM) bridges to result in 14X multiplier. For anyone ONLY needing multiplier increase for their board this may be a viable option.

If board also needs vCore increase then the ole wire-in-the-socket trick will work, or soldering together a couple pins on the back of the board, or consult the board's voltage regulator datasheet and solder on a ~ 20K POT for manual adjustment (advanced users only).
 
axmh2400fqq4c aqyha 041supmw got it today, no idea what that stuff really means, haven't kept up with the steppings🙁 ahw ell, will try it later. socket pin mod requires a steady hand🙂 damn u coffee!
 
Back in stock @ $77: Mobile 35 Watt AMD Athlon XP-M 2200+, 266 MHz FSB, 512K L2

I was so excited, I forget to get the free calculator/alarm gift.

The Shuttle AN35N Ultra is a good mobo, I got a refurb from Newegg for $39 and it was actually brand new. Have my 2500-M running fine at 12x200 but I had to bump V up to 1.85 to get stable there.
 
AN35N Ultra + 2400 M from new egg = nice and cheap
I got the processor to 11.5 x 200 running at 40c with a few low noise db fans at 1.65v.

I didnt' want to mess with voltage since I was building this for someone else and didn't want to have to worry about any instability. I could have probably gotten 12 or 12.5x but I had to build something quickly that would be stable.
Used some kingston memory but couldn't get very good speed timing out of it. Seems the mobo didn't especially like the memory.
 
What's the best mobo that can use all the multipliers of the mobile bartons? There are only a few, correct? Also one of course with a working PCI frequency lock. I don't need RAID and proabably won't need onboard sound.

Same on my Epox EP-8RDA3+ except it won't go anywhere above 12.5x no matter what my FSB is.

Abit NF7 or refurb.

I figured as much. Is the only reason everyone likes it because of it's overclocking?
I couldnt find any refurb NF7's, but what's up with newegg's "*NON-REFUNDABLE ITEM. Exchange for same Exact Item Only! " on new NF7's? Why buy there if they have this policy?

Well, ease in overclocking is one aspect, but given the will a lot of boards can get near same o'c. I like Asus A7N8X myself but had to add a 12ga. wire to the back to keep the 5V rail for CPU power from dropping, and it doesn't support 5th multi, IIRC. NF7 doesn't have that problem, using 3 stage 12V rail for CPu, and due to Abit's capacitor defect fiasco of a few years back they still use better caps than they really need to (Rubycon MBZ a lot of the time) for a 3 stage VR. Out of the box that doesn't matter as much, but it will affect longevity.

Then there's the spacing of the first PCI slot, you don't HAVE to lose that slot with a thick AGP card, and the 5th multi support.

ON some of the 'boards marked as exchange only I suspect too many people order a new board to rape it of the I/O shield and misc dongles, manual, then expect to return it. Granted with NF7 that's not as many dongles as with some but who knows, maybe they just have some percentage calculated, and if they working returns are higher than that, they flag it and won't refund anymore.

If you can't find a refurb and aren't in a hurry, you might just check back now and again, they've came and went pretty regularly over the past few months, though the discount for a refurb'd NF7 isn't much compared to many other boards, might be worthwhile to just get a new one. I'd have recommended the NF7-S but you didn't need audio.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the differance between a "Mobile" and a normal 2500+ barton? Does it just run cooler allowing a larger overclock? or?

The mobile Barton was designed to run cooler and with less power requirements for laptops. The byproduct is an OPGA socket Barton with a large vcore overhead for enthusiasts to put in their desktops to overclock.[/quote]

And the multiplier is factory unlocked, so you don't just have to rely on the bus speed to overclock.[/quote]

Correct. That's why it's important to have a motherboard that has access to the mutipliers and fsb, because it will be detected as an unknown cpu @ 6x100 600Mhz.

Otherwise, you'll have to do some bridge mods. 🙁[/quote]

Would this mean that I could buy a chip and mess with multiplier settings with my old KT266A? Last I knew the recent "unlocked" AMD desktop chips were only noticed as unlocked by newer motherboards, mainly nForce2 and newer VIA KT mobos.[/quote]

As long as you have a multi setting that you can change in the BIOS, it should work. But don't quote me on that. 😉[/quote]



Make sure your bios can do the correct voltage setting for teh chip and 'unofficially' supports the chip. Otherwise you ahve fried hardware. Older chips ran higher Vcore
 
I read either in this thread or another mobile barton thread that there are only three motherboards that can use the higher multipliers of this chip.?

Also what's the difference in this and the Athlon MP?
