Question about AMD Thunderbird 1GHZ.

[barlav]

I'm going to buy an AMD Thunderbird 1 Ghz CPU. I have seen it listed differently as follows:

AMD THUNDERBIRD K7 1000MHZ(1GHZ) 3D
AMD THUNDERBIRD K7 1000MHZ(1GHZ)
AMD THUNDERBIRD 1000MHZ(1GHZ)

Are all of these the same? Does the 3D or K7 denote different properties of the CPU? Thanks!

Also,
Are they all SOCKET A?

Nope, they should all be identical.

AMD THUNDERBIRD K7 1000MHZ(1GHZ) 3D
AMD THUNDERBIRD K7 1000MHZ(1GHZ)
AMD THUNDERBIRD 1000MHZ(1GHZ)

...Where did you got that? Because all Thunderbirds have 3DNow! instructions and they are all based on the K7 core (named Athlon). I think that all these CPUs are the same... They should be all Socket-A, because there is no Thunderbird that is Slot-A except some OEM ones (I already seen a Thunderbird 750 Slot-A)... However, I doubt that they made Slot-A OEM Thunderbirds higher than 900MHz... So, I think that these three names are refering to the same CPU.
