AMD 2600-M overclocking

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.overclocking (More info?)

ok now

not sure about this i have conflicting answers, a friend at uni told me you
cannmot use AMD XP-M on a standard Socket A PC motherboard

i would like to know, if you could take it out the package and slap it on
any socket A board?

and if so, whats it overclock like (2600) i have heard that the 2400
overclocks great

and how about the vcore, i currently have a 2600+ non mobile but the
multiplier is locked i have the vcore at 1.6 ish but on mobiles isnt it like
1.4 ish, it is ok to have the vcore on mobiles up to 1.6 like the desktop
chips?

it's just i am planning on building a socket A system for someone (cant
afford 64) and i cant find oc'able bartons anywhere and i know the mobiles
are all oc'able just wanted to know if i would be able to put one in a
desktop board

and if it would overclock well (2600 to 3000 speeds, possibly 3200 depending
on heat)

anyone?

cheers for the help (in advance)
