Whats this Chip like ?

[Lexeus]

I just got my new Barton 2500+ in this post, along with my new K7N2 Delta, and 512 PC-2700 Corsair oh, and one hell of a castek case, really good value form scan for £55, sry not aluminium , but silver, the casetek 1019SM.

Anyway, i have looked at the number on my chip, and it is as follows:

Athlon XP Processor

CPU Model 10
Manufacturing Process 130 nm
Approximate Transistor Count 54.3 million
Approximate Die Size 101 sq. mm

It's the Stepping code that determines the overclockability of the chip, I'll have a look for a guide

Well, it seems to be appearing on plenty of 2800 and 3200+ chips, so I'd say you have fairly good odds at getting a decent o/c on it

what are you looking at ? Could you give me a link for the guide or something ? The site I used before is now a bad link

thanks

I just did a search for "AQXEA" in google.. loads of links

lol, me too , i found a review of the chip, which had the same code, says it is used with alot of 3200+ too, so should be good

thanks for helping
