What is the fastest non-Barton AMD cpu?

[Kard]

not a 64 either, just and XP

Thanks Much,

Technically XP2800+ Thoroughbred "B" (OPGA) with 166FSB and 384k total cache (256 L2) = 13.5 x 166 = 2250mhz
Here is a Review of that one and if you can't find it because it is so rare the next best thing is the 2700+ which is also reviewed there.

 

[Kard]

so the 2700+ is the fastest Socket A chip?

Bartons are also Socket A chips. The fasted being the 3200+

Are refering to the fastest Thoroughbred? The only difference between T-bred and Barton is the L2 Cache size (256k vs 512k) and the FSB speed.

All Bartons are 333 or 400 FSB; T-breds are 266 or 333 FSB.

Are you refering to the fastest Socket A w/ 266 FSB?
If so, the fastest is the 2600+

If you are referring to the fastest Socket A w 333FSB, that would be the 3000+ (Barton) or a 2800+ (T-bred), but it is next to impossible to find a 2800 t-bred.

Any reason why you aren't interested in a Barton? If you are limited by your Motherboard, the manufacturer should be able to tell you the fastest processor supported.

Actually, I have forgotten which board I have. It was the first line of nforce2 boards epox put out. It says it does not support the barton core. Hopefully it will in future Bios upgrades.

Actually, just found it.

EP-8RDA+:
? Socket A for AMD Athlon?, Duron?, Athlon? XP CPU. Supports 266/333 FSB


will this support any of the Barton processors?

thanks

With the latest BIOS, you should be able to support up to the 3000+ Barton.

The fastest socket a processor is the 2.3 or 2.4 ghz procesor (I forget which) that hp had an exclusive deal to release and sell. I remember reading a small tidbit about it and that at the time it was the fastest chip amd had produced. Unfortunately those never went to the masses. I think it was a special deal or something.

The fastest 266mhz FSB is 2600+

[Kard]

And what is the fastest 333mhz?

 

[formulav8]

3000+ I believe

 

[billbillw]

Be careful, the 3000+ is available in 333 fsb (2167MHz) and 400 fsb (2100MHz).

I don't think the 3000+ is worth the extra $45 for ~80MHz increase in cpu speed. Benchmarks don't really show a marked improvement.

The fastest 33fsb is the 3200+ AMD released to HP running at 2.333ghz

And with a 70.6x multiplier, to boot

Doh!
hp link for anyone interested

2600+ 266's are also very hard to find. In practice, the fastest readily available 266MHz bus Tbred is a 2400+.

FYI, there is an MP 2800+ chip. Since the MP chips only run at 266MHz, ...
