XP1800 or XP1800 TB, that's the question...

9th January 2003, 19:58

Gonna buy me another PC. Got some folding to do and wanna play with watercooling. Now i have the option between the following two processors....

Athlon XP 1800 Desktop Model Thoroughbred Retail Box (w/Sink & Fan) # AXDA1800BOX

and

Athlon XP 1800 256K 266FSB Socket A Retail Boxed (w/Heatsink & Fan) # AXP1800BOX

Price difference is 2$. Does the one with the TB-core overclock any better or should i stick to the Palomino one? My first idea would be to go for the TB, because it's the most recent one, but i have no idea how they relate to each other in terms of overclocking.....

down with the multiplier

,i thought the nforce2's unlocked all the t-bred's or was it only with the epox8rda+?

are t-bred,b core already available on the lower xp's(<xp2400)?
and ware the physical difference between the A rev and B rev?
difference in size of core?

I think the same core...

niweejz, got me that leadtek nforce2, didnt know there was no option to change the multi... so I'm kinda stuck there :s If they don't publish a new bios version that DOES change the multi, I'm changing the board...

I just read that for the nforce1, there was an identical situation, and the users didnt have to wait very long... :s

I can confirm that Comtech is stocking TbredA XP1800+ CPU's

their XP2400 & XP2600 are TbredB

the XP2200 is still a TbredA..

happend to be standing next to their cpu collection today

Is there in the lower sections, XP 1800, also a difference (rev A an B), or are 1800 TB's all the same?
