How can I tell if my 1700+ is a Tbred?

[ArmchairAthlete]

I just bought this Athlon XP 1700+ at googlegear.com. Here's the URL:

http://www.googlegear.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80155-R

I don't think it matters wether it is Tbred or Palomino on an A7N8X Deluxe, but I'd like to know. I'm a bit of a n00b when it comes to this.

The code at the bottom starts with "AIUGA" if that is how you tell.

the die of an Tbred is retangular, more Square if a palo. Also, the stepping codes and #s are on the die if palo, and on the side of the cpu in a black lable kinda thing if Tbred

Ok, by this die you mean the metal thing in the very center right? That is rectangular. And right below where it says "ASSEMBLED IN MALAYSIA" on the edge there is that black label that says "AMD Athlon" with a bunch of codes and stuff under it. I suppose it is a Tbred then, should be since I ordered it only a couple days ago, right?

if its a black label and white letters then its safe to say its a tbred

Ok, it is a Tbred. I just saw that other thread down there with the picture comparison on anand.

You can delete this now mods
