I am about to pick up a Slot-A T-bird (I have a MSI K7 Pro board, with AMD 751 chipset) and would liek to know how overclockable these chips are. I heard that 750 T-birds often have 900 cores, but I presume those reports referred to socket, not slot, chips. I would use a Northwind GFD.

I check the CPU database at Overclockers, but would be interested to hear overclocking reports of users here.

Hey I never have seen an T-Bird in Slot-A package, will you show me it when you buy it?

Edman, There have been Slot A Thunderbirds available for awhile now. Just do a search under Thunderbird processors on Pricewatch, and you will find them.

ARyll,

Are you aware of any way to determine if a 750 T-Bird has a 900 core without opening the case?

Or, has anyone bought a 750/900 core online, and if so, where? I figure if I buy from them, too, I might get one from the same batch.
