Help with 2500/2600 mobile steppings...

[Michael0Jackass]

Hi,

I was planning on buying a 2500/2600 mobile for my pc and heard a lot about the amount of OCing one could do depending upon the steppings. Naturally, I sought to get a mobile with the "best stepping" but then i ran into trouble as not many retailers display them. I heard the IQYHA steppings the best for OCing but the only thing often reailers publish is the mfr.part.no such as AXMG2600FQQ4C . Is there any way of working out from this which stepping it belongs to??

Thanks for any replies

I got my 2600+ mobile from ExcaliberPC.com, or something similar. They were guaranteeing the stepping codes.

I try to hunt up a link and post back.

EDIT: HERE'S the link. May not be helpful, I couldn't find any for sale at their site though

2cd EDIT: I don't think the AXMG2600FQQ4C is gonna be much help. HERE'S an AMD CPU chart. Those #s are from the first part of the stepping code and are the same for all cpu's. Its the latter part of the stepping code info (ex. IQYHA) that you want.

yeah they seem to have stopped doing Athlon XP mobiles altogether

I live in the UK as wel, do u think theres way to link part number to stepping codes, no website in the UK i think does stepping codes which is a real pain

EDIT: oh rite so i need a complete mfr code, as the steppin code is a part of it. I mite b able to find a site that does that thanks i'll hav a look and post bak
