AMD Thunderbird 1.2GHz 266MHz Bus Socket A processor OEM for $120 at NewEgg

I couldn't find this posted elsewhere.

Am building a system for a brother in law and was going to buy the 1 GHZ TBird for him at $119 at NewEgg but had to leave it to this morning. I returned today and found they were out of the 1 GHz processors at that great price but was happy to find the 1.2 GHz going for $120.

I'm in the process of getting an T-bird CPU that would OC nicely. How are the 1.2Ghz OC compaired to 1.0Ghz Axia or 1.0 Axiar CPUs.

Can someone provide me the links on how each CPUs OCbility. Thanks a million.

Well, found my new mobo (Iwill KK266) and cpu (T-bird 1.2/266) sitting on my side porch (FedEx is sooo security conscious, they always hide the things), along with a Volcano II fan.

Well, it took me less than an hour, but I pulled my old Abit KA7/Athlon 700 from the case, popped in the new mobo/cpu, hooked up all the wires (with my 2 year old climbing on my back and asking a hundred questions, giggling). Powered it up, set some default BIOS configs for safety, and booted right into Windows. A few reboots later, new hardware discovered, etc., well .... Here I am, logged on and working!

I get made at MS every day, but this is something. This system started out as a K62/400, and I swapped out the mobo/cpu for the Abit/Athlon, and, without reinstalling Windows ran that system until the Abit/Athlon died. Now I've just done the same with the new Iwill/T-bird, and it's running. No OS install.

Question: How many others have had one OS install support three systems? I'm pretty impressed. And, until the Abit/T-Bird died it was "unusually" stable for a Win98SE system. I'd planned on a clean install of this system, but I'll see.

So, out-of-the-box it's working. I haven't stressed it yet, but after I get dinner done, I'll be tinkering all night, I know.

Never heard back from newegg, btw.
