Yet another addition to the GHz+ club courtesy of AMD

[redpriest_]

Bought a 700 MHz socket A thunderbird at a computer show (It's a dresden CPU, being a nice shade of violet, I found it hidden among its 1000 mhz siblings).

Running at 1030 MHz now at 2.1 volts

I can't believe how dirt cheap these CPUs are. I've been able to buy them regularly at ~ $100 without breaking the bank.

You have to love AMD!

Did you burn them in? Tried RC5?

Congrats, redpriest.

Depends what your definition of "burning in" is

It's perfectly stable, no lockups, it can run 3dMark loops all day, as well as Prime95 without any computational errors.
