AMD Athlon K7 CPU Question.. Very Odd.. I think..

[CaptianAburrr]

I just ordered 20 Athlon K7-500 CPU's and when I got them today I was looking them over and something caught my eye on one of them.. 19 of them are labeled as "AMD ATHLON PROCESSOR" on the top and the sticker on the side.. The one that stuck out at me says "AMD 7th GENERATION PROCESSOR" on the top and the sticker on the side.. I am just wondering if there is anything special with this cpu.. I have a K7 board that I may try it in but I was just wondering if anyone else had ever got one of these or seen them.. and like said.. if they were anything special..

 

[CaptianAburrr]

so nobody has ever seen this before?

I dont think there is anythign special, i have seen both types of labeling on them, different was between oem and retail boxed from what I saw with my experiance with them. they are all 7th generation, hence the K7. Not sure if you are aware of it or not, but alot of the 500s and 550s are lowered down 650mhz ones. (assuming you are talking slot A). of course a gold finger device for them, from what I have seen, still goes for $35+. but if you are good at electronic soldering, they can be redone to the correct faster speeds.

JWade: thanks for the help

SoulKeeper: That would be a nice thought although I just plan on selling them on eBay.. it keeps me with a little extra cash on hand I have around $5 in each chip

i might need one for my sd11
i think the 600 that's in there died on me from a chiped die

how much you thinking about selling them for ?
and they are all 500's ?
where did you manage to get so many at one time ??


there for a second i thought you were trying to one up those people that made that crazy imac cluster recently hahahaha

K7s are either athlons or durons. K6s are not.

 

[CaptianAburrr]

dguy: right.. who said anything about k6's

SK: they are all 500s.. and I only bought 20.. my father has about 50.. and our distributor still has 110 left.. im gonna sell em on ebay for $15 shipped.. but I'll sell you one direct right now for $12.00 shipped priority.. which leaves me with about $3.. heh

 

[JWade]

$12 shipped is a good price for them. I would go ahead and post on the for sale/trade thread first, even the $15 price shipped. I know some people (like me) would much rather buy here than off ebay, never know who else is looking for one.

 

[Soulkeeper]

that's a good price

you could prob get even more on ebay tho
since they bid on it

 

[CaptianAburrr]

i didn't think dealers/resellers could post in that forum? I was just making a special deal for SK as a one time buy..
