C1 Steppings are cool!

C1 stepping basically means the chip has a higher potential max clockspeed because of better yeilds resulting from refinements in the manufacturing process. To determine if you get a C1 just go here follow the directions and click on the link to the Spec finder.

It's a pre-production sample. A0 never made it to retail, afaik. 🙂

Is that like an engineering sample where the multiplyers come unlocked?🙂

You lucky SOB !!!!

Get yourself some PC3500 ram & got crazy on the fsb !!! 🙂

😎

What part of my body would I have to cut off to get one of these chips?😉
 
Wingznut, do you have any unofficial comment regarding the rumors that the Springdale and Canterwood chipsets will unlock the multipliers on Pentium 4 CPU's?

Also, are you happy with your new Radeon 9700Pro? Thanks. Peace.

Heh, believe it or not, this cpu won't run at a high FSB... It isn't stable above 142mhz.

I can run it all day at 21x142, but not for a minute at 15x143. I've tried every different memory timings, locking the AGP/PCI, three different motherboards... All with the EXACT same results. So, I just run it at 21x133. 🙂

Motherboards cannot unlock a P4. The cpu is unlocked on the die itself by cutting a fuse. And I'm talking on the microscopic scale. Not the same type of fuses that you use in your AMC Pacer. 😉

And yes, the 9700 PRO is a VERY impressive piece of hardware. I haven't been this happy with a video card since I got my V5-5500.

that's a shame ,any ideal why your p4 cant handle the higher fsbs?

I am not looking for an official statement,just speculation.

because we have seen tom take a recent p4 to 800 fsb and i was wondering why yours cant do it.

I guess you just have bad luck mixed in with your good luck. 🙂

Not if ya can't lower the muty and pumped the FSB up like they do with the emmys 😉
