for an x86 I think it's going to suck. If it was a 1ghz alpha or sparc maybe not. The ram for that is less than desirable too at 333mhz. Also the harddrive that comes with it is 5400rpm? I see way too many bottle necks in it. If your going to need alot of parallel processing, you might want to consider an alpha array, or a sparc array.

Hey yall, just wanna get your thoughts on this CPU:

AMD Athlon 64 1500+
1000MHz Clock Speed
1000MHz HyperTransport
512KB Level 2 Cache
Venice Core 90nm

I think it'd be a killer chip to overclock, you can buy it in this system: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12390_na/12390_na.HTML

Tell me what yall think.

I think my brother had that exact chip. He got that sucker to spin up real good.

doesnt he mean to buy the computer and take the chip out.

Somethings wrong with my DualSATA2. I have to set it to 274 to get 220 HTT. Once it booted 50%, 200=100 HTT. I had that chip(almost.) I though I would set a underclocking record, but the 50% thing was just a fluke. It's back to the 5:4 BIOS to CPUz ratio. :(
Perfect for the bad ICM of my winnie. :cry:
What is wrong?

I'd sell the Winnie and buy a Conroe, the Conroe'll just be a tad slower but will make up for the loss with DDR2 ;).
