t-bred rev b?

[ncage]

Hi guys, newegg is selling thier 2100+ with the following model num: AXDA2100DUT3C. This would be a t-bred rev b correct? If it is im kind of confused. People were saying the 2100+'s weren't be produced with the rev b core. How likely is it, if you buy a 1700+ or 1800+ from newegg that it will be a rev b? I noticed the model number on the 1700+ and 1800+ isn't a t-bred model number.

thanks

We've been discussing this all day Nick

Read about the 1700+ T-bred B

and

here about the possibility of 2100+ T-bred B's

The 1700+ have been confirmed B's. 1800+ still unsure, they may still have some A's left over, so its probably best to wait on an 1800+ until some reports come in.

The 2100+ is definitely still a $100 bet. The pictures and part # indicate it is a B, however the product description conflicts and says its an A. I'll let everyone know on Monday, I've got skin in the game

Thanks dude. I do have one more question. I have an abit kr7a mb (kt266a). If i get one of the cpu's that is unlockable will i be able to do it with this mb or will i have to get a nforce2 mb?

thanks

The latest T-bred A's and B's are unlocked (all the one's released after the 2400+), however, the BIOS on some boards locks the multipliers. My 1700+ was unlocked on my 8KHA+, a KT266A board. You should be able to get a nice OC depending on how good your RAM is, the KT266A is still an excellent OCing board. You may have some issues with access to the lower multipliers though, as I believe only the Nforce2 boards allow you access to both the high (over 13) and low (12.5 and under) multipliers. I don't know first hand though, I will after I receive my chip on Monday.

Yes, he may be able to get a nice OC...but the problem is that KT266A boards don't have a 1/5 divider. So, running at say, 166MHz FSB would have his PCI/AGP cards crashing left and right (most probably) That's why I took the plunge and bought a KT333 board (Epox 8K5A2+)...which has been OK for me...I think if I had better RAM, I'd be a little "hotter" on it. Good board nonetheless.

Just wanted to advise about the 1/5 thing.

I have an Epox 8KHA+ kt266a mobo and I'm running @ 176 FSB, there is definately a 1/5 divider on this board.

Wow. I didn't know that. I wonder if the 1/5 divider is native to the KT266'A chipset, or a bios thing. I have a Shuttle AK35GTR adnd I don't know if it has the divider or not...

the 1/5 divider is definitely a native thing in the chipsets, i had a soyo dragon ultra chipset kt333, it doesn't have the divider and corupted my hd in a couple days.. had to refund it to get a epox
