Anyone try the Athlon XP mobile 3000+ yet?

Here it is:

And before anyone asks, I have no idea what the wattage is.

A DTR at 2.2GHz, but already running 1.65v default?

I don't see this getting any higher than the 1.45v 2x00+ Bartons, and it's definitely not worth the $50 premium.

I agree. That thing is a waste of money from the looks of it. It's already running the stock voltage of it's desktop counterpart.

i asked newegg to add it to their inventory assuming it was a true lower wattage mobile, but it isnt, so that sux. anyways, i cant afford the cpu for my laptop anymore cuz school costs a shizload.

May not be a good deal but I wouldn't call it a rip off, at least its a 3000+ thats unlocked mat be hand has maybe a bit more headroom.

and it's the max upgrade for a 266fsb system... wonder if my k7s5a's will do 16.5... may have to grab one...

you.. by yourself ..persuaded newegg to carry that chip..?

persuade them to carry the 14w 1.4ghz Geode if you don't mind

If it can't like my 8kha+, you may still be able to get some loving by using CrystalCPUID or something else of it's ilk. Search the web for it.

Don't you see, though? All mobiles are basically capable of hitting 2.2+GHz now and they all default to 6x multiplier in desktop mobos. The higher multiplier of the 3000+ is meaningless to you because you'll have to manually adjust the multi anyway! Buying one of these 3000+ DTRs is just throwing money away.

While interesting, I think its higher cost will make it unattractive. Aside from cost, the barton mobiles are hitting their max of approximately 2.6ghz with air on average, no matter which model one gets, assuming one with a lower model has a great overclocker. Unfortunately, this chip won't be able to go any higher, and if it's running on stock barton voltage already, I don't think it will have much use as a low voltage chip, either. If they release a non DTR, 1.45v version, that may be nice for cases of the latter.
