Experience 2600-M better than 2500-M

Alright. I had them in the same board, 2500 gets to 2530 on 1.85 in NF7-S with 23D-Fire Bios. 2600 gets to 2592. This is prime stable. I was a little bit disappointed I did not get past 2.6GHz but only 8 KHz short of it is fine with me. Awesome chips, just awesome.

The 2600 is stock at 2 ghz right? It makes sense that it would oc better since the 2500 is stock at 1833 or whatever...

1.93 I believe... the mobile one anyway...

*EDIT* Nevermind, you're right, it's 2.0

Same Squares go down the line and are diagnosed for speed then split up by stabiltiy/performance...2400,2500,2600. OCing will preform accordingly

I correct myself. Got it 217x12 = 2.604 GHz Prime95 stable with 1.85V. This is a week 46 of 2003, beauty. Temperatures on Prime95 load are 45-47C. It seems my NF7-Sboard holding me on 11.5 multiplier since I cannot raise higher than 224 FSB without freezing on Prime95. Memory is BH-5 and does 230 on my Epox 8RDA+.
This chip is almost as good as my overclocked Athlon64 3200+ but I payed it 4 times less.

My 2600+ XP-M currently is sitting at 200x11 w/1.5v, and reaches up around 2600mhz
I had a 2500+ do 2600mhz too...these mobiles are so hot

Sure they are, I cannot deny my amazement. I payed $800 for two Athlon64s and they are just a tad better than these two mobiles I bought for a fraction of price. If you told me few months ago that I would be running Athlon at 2.6 GHz on air ...
87 seconds on 2MB SuperPI. This is my record with any 32-bit Athlons. I have only 3 seconds faster on 2.45 GHz Athlon 64. My 3.4 GHz Pentium cannot touch anything close to 90 seconds.
