Athlon 3000+ for DTR Notebooks

New Egg has the Athlon 3000+ for moble DTR notebooks for $148.

Dose the moble Athlon 64 have all the advantages of the XP moble?
Does it fit in a desktop MB and it is unlocked?

Would this be significantly faster than the XP 2500 for gaming?

Thanks for any info.

 
It can go in some desktop motherboards, but it is not fully unlocked (multipliers below stock on all A64s are unlocked, though). If you're looking to overclock an A64, a Winchester is a better bet anyway.

An A64 would be significantly faster than an XP2500+, but other factors determine whether or not that will be worth it for your situation.
 
I thought that it would be a good chip because it has 1 mb of L2 cache vs the 512 for most chips in it's price range.

I would be running a DFI Lanparty MB with the 754 chip 1 gig memorey vs XP 2500 on ASUS A7NXE mb with 1 gig mem.

I was looking at the 754 board vs 939 because I have a gig of Corsair memory I would like to use in the new system
 
It does have 1MB of cache, but that doesn't make much of a difference versus 512K at all (NC 3400+ versus CH 3400+ showed that the extra 200MHz far outweighed the loss of 512K in cache). You're really better off getting a Winchester, or at least a Newcastle if you're going to buy 754 to use your 1x1GB DIMM.
