Identification of athlon XP processors

[Shaftatplanetquake]

Just had a customer walk in the door and ask if my processors were bartons. I didn't know how to tell. Googled the stepping code, and looked over AMD.com and was unable to get any information.

stepping on one particular chip... "aixjb0429bpmw" And I don't know what this number is significant for, but "z438802g40082".

Thanks in advance.

without looking anything up

look physically at the CPU

if its a square its a palomino
if its a rectangle its a tbred
if its an enlongated rectangle its a barton

theres a good picture of a barton in the other thread in here.

also since i assume that you run a computer shop of some sort, if the box says 512KB L2 Cache then it probably is since ~98% of bartons came with 512KB of L2 Cache.

100% of Bartons have 512KB L2 Cache, whereas 100% of Thortons (crippled Barton) have 256KB L2 Cache. Conversely, 100% of Athlon XPs with 512KB L2 are Bartons. To the best of my knowledge, that is.

2500+,2800+,3000+3200+ all bartons some 2600+ if there 1.9Ghz not 2.133

You actually need the number listed above the AIXJB code. The AIXJB is the stepping information (tells the stepping revision and production date).

The number you need is likely going to be something like AXDA2400DKV3C. Use this guide to decode what yours is.

From what I found from google, that stepping was used on 2400+ AthlonXP T-Bred's. But you'd want to check the code to verify it.
