Same here. I will putting it all together by Friday. I stuck it in a new KK266 just to see what it would post at. 1400 with no increase in voltage. Looks like these chips are close to the best cpu of all time the Celeron 300A@450. You got a 50% or more overclock on those and these seem to be right around 35-45%. I only paid $169 also. Mine is a B chip. Happy computing and slow down will ya ;).

crank that voltage up :) my AXIA week 9 running @ 1507, crunching Seti@home 24/7 at 1.825 V, was at 1.8 but had a small window's error yesterday so increased it a little :) not a hiccup since. Blizzard HS/fan - solid copper and it get's warm :)NEVER crashes !!!!!!

Lane42, Those AXIA chips (most) are sweet! :)
I used to cruch seti WU's like mad! But when they kept changing the WU's & I'd have to reload seti"Q" with the new commandline & end up losing 20+ WU's in the process I chose to bail out & start running RC5.

Sharpstick, I'll crank up the volts & top it out, but that CPU is using a cheap HS (w/Artic SilverII) and is currently installed in my wifes system.
(She won't know the difference between 1.33 & 1.5Ghz, but RC5 will :eek:)

LOL @ Jay, tell ya what it went pretty slick, went together easy and run's like a top, been running seti 24hrs straight now without a hiccup, playing Quake and surfing too. No strange AMD patches like the old one's or anything...LOL ... I am very impressed with AMD !!

invest in a good HS, my temp's run's about 45 C , but been running full load 24 hrs straight :) I run the Blizzard HS, not to loud but it weigh's 500g, a little heavy but not a problem.
IMHO The best one out there is the swiftech with the copper bottom (copper absorb's heat BEST) with aluminum pressed pin's ( aluminum dissapates heat best), look's very intresing :)

keep us posted
