"David Maynard" wrote Good point. I've been thinking it would make for a nice, quiet, low power, HTPC. This should prove interesting: http://forums.silentpcreview.com/vie...php?t=10487%20 I can confirm the experience of the fellah with no multiplier control. They DO seem to 'default' to 1,000 MHz on a desktop motherboard for some reason. |

I've been considering how to make one work on my KT400 motherboard with no controls on it. I thought I could try the wires in the socket trick. http://www.ocinside.de/go_e.html?/ht...md_pinmod.html He was saying something about having to cut a bridge to go to lower than standard voltage, but I guess the standard voltage would be low enough. -- Ed Light Smiley :-/ MS Smiley :-\ Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |

I copied this message from alt.comp.hardware.overclocking.amd
Near the end it mentions the mobile 64. ----- QBall wrote: Are all Mobile Barton 2500 chips unlocked. I can get an "AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (Barton) 1.88GHz 266 FSB 45WMobile" chip for about $95 but I do not want it if it is locked. Anyone know how to tell ? ALL mobiles are unlocked so that they can use powernow's multi-changing to save laptop power. They always will be. This is a common misconception. The normal/BIOS/L3/whatever-you-want-to-call-it multipler can be locked without affecting PowerNow. In fact, I've commented in various places that I'm surprised that it's NOT locked, as the chips come off the same assembly line. The ability to change the multipliers through PowerNow is, of course, required for all mobile chips. So you will always be able to change the multiplier through this on mobile chips, though as soon as (or if) AMD locks the L5/L6 bridges as well, then you'll only be able to change it to below the default multiplier. This is the case, in the AMD64 mobiles, where there are no bridges. PS to the OP: the 45W mobiles are the good ones to get for overclocking, as opposed to the (cheaper) 70W DTR chips. -- Michael Brown www.emboss.co.nz : OOS/RSI software and more Add michael@ to emboss.co.nz - My inbox is always open ------- -- Ed Light Smiley :-/ MS Smiley :-\ Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |
