What the hell I just noticed this w / the Athlon Mobiles...

[FearoftheNight]

266 fsb? Whats going on about that? These are the ones that everyone is raving about right? I saw this at monarch and was wondering if this was the one...?
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (Barton) 1.88GHz 266 FSB 45WMobile

Let me know. My rma board is about to get here from newegg.Thanks.

Everyone's overclocking them to FSB 400.

 

[Dman877]

They are mobile processors designed for low cost, cool systems. High speed, hot ram doesn't help in a laptop . Because they are unlocked, however, the default fsb really doesn't matter that much.

just for your curiosity here is the CPU I installed last night:

AMD XP2500+ Mobile
Stepping: IQYHA 0405 SPMW
FSB: 200 x 12,5 (2500mhz)
Vcore: 1,825
Temp: 43º a 100º de utilização
Cooler: Thermalright SLK900U
Board: Epox 8RDA(non plus)
Mem: 1x512Mb OCZ PC3200 + 1x512Mb. OCZ PC3500
Volt. mem: 2,9

i think you should get a 35 watt 1.35 volt chip.. Text

They are designed for 266FSB operation in laptops, but I've never seen one mobile that couldn't do 400FSB and higher.

Thanks for your advice. I was looking at this one.

Can you tell me why the one you showed me is better? And if so is there any retailer that takes paypal that has it?

you mean the ones that do over 400fsb easy? Yes, those are the ones

no fair, newegg didn't have the 35 watt chips when I got my 2400+:|

It's time for you to replace your CPU then, isn't it?

 

[FearoftheNight]

I am asking is the 1.35v volt one better?

 

[FearoftheNight]

bump

 

[oldman420]

they all have the same core so if it runs at lower vcore it is a better chip generly speaking however you can not go wrong with a mobile barton i bet they are all good ocers

Don't tempt me!

back!

 

[FearoftheNight]

hmm tries to decide...

 

[Shimmishim]

ddr400... that's it?

as soon as i get some new ram, i'm shootin' for ddr500!

CPU's dont really have a FSB, motherboards do. they do use a fsb but if more chips were unlocked people would realize this.

DANG, that's a SWEET overclock. Very nice.

The FSB goes from the CPU to the memory controller, so the CPU is part of the FSB

In the case of AMD64 chips, the CPU does have a FSB as the memory controller is on the chip.

quick question....

on new egg. do the mobile 2400+ come with heatsink and cpu fan?

the 2500+ non-mobile comes with both.

so will the price difference be worth it to get the mobile if i have to spend another 20 bucks for a heatsink and fan?

if so what is a good heatsink and fan combo i can get from newegg. Thanks everyone!

Intelligence is irrelivant.
Money is irrelevant.
Fame and forture are irrelevant.
Bus speed is irrelevant.

These chips run at a default of 600mhz if you just plug 'em in and fire 'em up. They are actually MEANT to be overclocked.

Submit or be destroyed.

 

[someone16]

Mobiles don't come with hs/f. If I were to buy one probably any of the Thermaltake/right that supports 80mm fans is a good buy.

Who cares what's advertised? it can run at 2000 MHZ BUS and 1x multiplier if you can find a chipset and memory capable.

Now THAT would be amazing :Q
