Sorry for such a newbie question but visited AMD's site and a few others and did not find the actual non O/C speeds for the various AMD Athlon XP CPUs available. Will be purchasing my first AMD system next week so I would like to be enlightenned.

Can someone give me a link or list the various AMD Athlon XP CPUs and their stock speeds?

Thanx for your patience.

i take it you want the actual clock speeds associated with the model numbers? .. a lot of online stores have both listed..

heres the list from the place i go to:

1600+(1.40GHz)
1700+(1.47GHz)
1800+(1.53GHz)
1900+(1.60GHz)
2000+(1.66GHz)

hope that helps. fyi, theyre not 'oc speeds', theyre model numbers of what amd feels is the mhz rating of a p4 that that cpu can compete with. for example an athlon xp 2000+ only runs at 1.66ghz, but amd feels it performs like a p4 northwood 2ghz. the reasoning behind this is that some people might buy a p4 2ghz over an athlon xp 1.66ghz because of the higher clock speed, even though they perform about the same.
