Lots of OC Questions

[Jynx980]

I recently bought a xp unlocking kit and put it to use on my 1600+ xp. I was disapointed that the max multiplier that I could do was 11. Since the highest multiplier for the Palamino core is 11 at the 1700+, does that mean that the maximum multiplier for a Barton core would be the xp 3000+ at 13? In other words, is the max multiplier of the certain cpu core the highest possible avaiable with all other cpus also in that core? Would the XP-M's be able to hit 13? Are all XP-M's running at a default fsb of 266? Are the multipliers different from regular barton xp's listed here?

Why are mobile XP's unlocked? Are notebooks incapable of changing the frequency? Does it just make it easier, and cheaper for amd to put whatever PR they want on them? How can these be run in regular atx motherboards?

Is a pci/agp lock that importent? Does data corruption occour onboard or on the hard drive itself? How much of an overclock of the pci bus can make it corrupt?

What types of heatsinks will fit on the XP-M's?

Thats an azzload of questions. I might post more if this thread gets picked up. TIA, even if you only read my post!

The mobile XP's are unlocked and change frequincy quite often in a notebook since they are unlocked. Depending on your motherboard, XP-M's run fine in a desktop motherboard.

I have never been a fan of pci/agp lock. Since the death of the 440BX chipset, PCI/AGP cards have been becoming more and more crappy. I remember when I got my TNT2 Ultra, it would run peachy on a 104AGP bus and my PCI bus running @ 40. Nowadays that motherboard manufactures put in a AGP/PCI lock, many cards will not run out of their 66/33 speeds. They seen no more reason to make cards better, and we can all thank NVidia with their NF chipset to start the demise of good cards by putting in that stupid lock.
Having said that, yes PCI/AGP lock is important nowadays since componants are built using the lowest Taiwaneese bidders. But they run fine in their specs.

Any Socket-A heatink will fit on a XP-M in a desktop board.
