This thread got messed up, consolidating to this other one please, http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=28&threadid=1947729&enterthread=y
Thought I found a good deal at the local computer swapmeet, Athlon XP 3200+ for $50, got it home, had some fun finding where I hid my heatsink goop, never did find my tube of artic, but did find the little free one PC Cooling includes with most purchases, carefully installed, and BLEH its showing up as a 2500+ with all the utilities I have tried including Amdcpuid. Its a barton, but telling the bios to try OC (turbo) and windows kacks 100% of the time.
I won't see the guy for a month either. Pulling it in a min and putting in the old 2600+ Sempron, just to eyeball the chip again, but very sure it said 3200 in the code.
