Hi,
I just ordered a replacement for my Dad's burned up 2800 AMD Athlon XP (fan
and heatsink fell off) with a new one.
He insistes that his previous CPU said "2.75 or 2.8Ghz" in the POST when he
booted his PC but the specs on the one I ordered says it's a 2.08Ghz CPU.
Are there different speeds of the same Athlon XP 2800 CPU?
[I have NO experience with AMD.]
Can this CPU be overclocked? How high is the "usual/average" SAFE freq? [He
has an eMachine].
Thanks!
