[evident]

.13 um = 130 nm i think

I checked the wiki, .13 um is normal for athlon xp

Missing SSE instruction set.

 

[gwai lo]

edit: err, wrong core

edit2: wow AMD's site is totally useless for this. Do they have a "processor finder" hidden somewhere?

edit3: aha, there are no barton 1700+'s

Err, yeah they did. Palomino and after had SSE1.

1700+ is not a Barton core. What do I win?

EDIT: And as others pointed out, AXP should have SSE. Odd..

mines in a K7S5A, another great overclocker.... havent tried to clock it yet though... this is the first boot since i did the little trick.... it's a tbred chip though...

 

[evident]

i did the pencil trick on a tbread 1700 to unlock the multiplier. instead i tricked it into becoming an athlon MP 1500+...

<3 abit nf7-s v2.0 and a7n8x deluxe

 

[zanejohnson]

im using this old machine i threw together beacause my vid card decided to pop 6 capacitors out of the blue.... and i dont have any other PCI-E cards to throw in my machine.... so i threw this together to use for now..

I remember they have those components on the substrate, did you bridge a connection on one of them? It's been so long since I've read up on AXP modding.

 

[Raduque]

K7S5A a great OCer?! I had 3 of them, they were anything BUT!

Also, make sure you got some airflow on the CPU VRMs. Mine melted down in a blaze of glory after no airflow for 3yrs. Took out the board, my PSU and the CPU. Let all the magic smoke out.

this is a tbred 2000+ as far as i know it was the only one that had all 512K of L2 cache on board, but half was disabled.... you can connect some bridges and enable the rest.... it made a big big difference... it performs about like my Northwood 2.4b @ default... but that northwood will clock to 3.5 and blows it away.... but i havent attempted to clock this chip yet.... i need to flash my board to the latest bios so i can do the multi unlock bridge trick and take advantage of that..

I had that board, as well as the K7S5A mentioned by the OP.

Both great boards for their times, though the Abit is better by far.

Currently running an Abit IP35-E and it's like reliving the Celeron 300A @ 450 days with my E2140...
