Heatspreaders on an 1800+? I didn't know any new CPU cores would be going down as far as the 1800+ speed.

DOH! Did a search for 'heat' and didn't see a title that might relate.

The 1800+ at least isnt quite what they claim, it's listed as being a Throughbred..... however the supposed 'Throughbred' 1800+ with the heatspreader has the stepping of "AGOIA" listed. The AGOIA stepping is also limited to the Palomino only.
The only steppings I've yet heard of for the Throughbred are AIRCA/AIRGA. The 2200+ Throughbred they show is AIRGA.

Edit: I also notice the first line listing the model starts with "AX1800".... all Throughbred processors start with AXDA, not AX.

So at the very least this is not a Throughbred as they claim.
