I'm building myself a budget system and have narrowed it down to 2 processors: the 1800+ Thoroughbred, or the 1900+ Palomino. I plan on overclcocking and i hear the thoroughbred is better for it. any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Captain Obvious says this is definately a no brainer!

If you can find one, get a XP1700+ or XP1800+ TbredB. They overclock to 2Ghz and beyond quite easily.

Captain Obvious says no, a full 2Ghz is easily obtainable. XP2400+ speeds or greater with quality cooling!

Assuming you can find one of course. They are becomming hard to find now.

Captain Obvious also recommends the Barton XP2500+ (1833Mhz) for overclocking!

Captain Obvious says yes, thats the obvious one to go for!

Its a Thoroughbred and they dont make or sell TbredA's anymore, so it must be a B!

Hi Captain

Unfortunately, I have already a Palomio 1900+. I have try to overclock it but only can get 2000 +, which is rather disappointed.
I can only increase the FSB to about 140 from default of 133. The ratio is 4:2:1 and BIOS allows me to change to 5:2:1. But that changes does not work.
Why and it is possible to do more.

Thanks

No, unfortunatelly for you that's all you can do with a Palomino. I can say that you are even lucky you managed to go up to 2000+ !!! Btw, what motherboard you have? From what you 've said about ratios, my guess is that with your current mobo, you will not even be able to overclock a Tbred-B 1700+, which is known to be an excellent chip for overclockers.

a Barton 2500+ will be a better choice currently..no?

No, because the mobo he has can only support AthlonXP up to 133MHz, so basically the legendary Thoroughbred-b 1700+ would be his favourite if he doesn't want to change the mobo.

Me fail English? That's Unpossible!

If the 1800+ is T-bred "B", then it's way better than palomino for overclocking.

piii_Man thinks that captin obvious goofed.

piii_Man has seen and heard of many low end tbreds using DLT3C tbred A cores being shipped from AMD using the AIRGA stepping with recent production dates post 2003.

Therefore piii_Man recomends a barton core cpu.


If it isn't a P6 then it isn't a procesor
