Hello,

Do the Athlon Palomino MP 1.0 and 1.2 Gig CPU's have the QuantiSpeed architecture ???

I am think of purchasing them through a neighborhood computer shop.

I can get them for $55 and $65 .

Thanks for the help.

Would you help me buy them if I can answer it?

Lemme just put it this way.

Athlon MP 1.0GHZ (If it were made today, it would have been called Athlon MP 1130+ I think)
Athlon MP 1.2GHZ (If it were made today it would have been called Athlon MP 1366+ I think)
Athlon MP 1.33GHZ (AthlonMP 1500+)
Athlon MP 1.4GHZ (AthlonMP 1600+)
Athlon MP 1.46GHZ (AthlonMP 1700+)
Athlon MP 1.53 GHZ (AthlonMP 1800+)
Athlon MP 1.6GHZ (AthlonMP 1900+)
Athlon MP 1.66GHZ (AthlonMP 2000+)

They're all the same chip, running at different speed.

AMD worked it out like this. The 1.0GHZ Chip and the 1.2GHZ chip were made before the Quantispeed architecture "Monicker" existed, but they're really the same chip running at different speeds.

They will perform better than Athlon's at the same speed (12% or so..)
They would be a steal! Espically so cheap!

isn't Quantispeed architecture just AMDs name for PR rating?

i thought it was but i could be wrong

looks like fishtankx beat me too it

By the way, i'm gonna assume you dont know a terrible lot about these CPU's, but their worth a pretty hefty chunk of change!

The 1.0 is worth about 100$ and the 1.2 is worth about 120$, so your getting them half priced.

What's so special about them is AMD takes special time to do extensive testing on the circuitry designed to allow these processors to work in *dual* CPU configuration.

Athlon MP Full name=Athlon Multi Processor

The full potential of these CPU's is only released when you use 2 in a single mainboard. There are some *nice* Dual CPU mainboards on the market and when you stuff a bit of registered DDR in them these machines run smooth as silk! If you do alot of things at once and use windows 2000/WindowsXP pro the operating system would put different programs on different CPU's and your machine would never get weighed down because a program is hogging the CPU because you always have another one for backup. Ever felt your system slow down to a crawl because of IDE? That's what i'm talking about.

If I were to get these I would go pick up a Tyan Tiger MP or an asus AMD-761MPX motherboard and pop two in and you'll have yourself a *really* nice workstation. The phrase "Smooth as silk" comes to mind.
