I had one as well, only it was a K6-II 500 OC'd to 550mhz lol, with a whopping 768mb PC-133 memory, 3x 256mb. Sadly the on-board SiS530 was way too slow for gaming. It was originally on an Amptron 598LMR, then i switched to some VIA thingy that limited it back to 500mhz, but it had an agp port. I "upgraded" to an intel i740, then later a radeon 7500.

I hated that i740 sometimes... from time to time i'd be playing Shogo: MAD, Tachyon the Fringe, or CS 1.6 and hear a clank sound in the case... it would be the video card's passive heatsink falling off! So I'd have to reach in and hold it on for a few sec lol. Still... it was an OK performing card for only being 8mb and DX7 only

new piece of hardware (cause the OS on it doesn't matter )
the only pics i have where you see it is that one (it's on the bottom left of the pics)

yep a MacbookPro 15" (early 2008)

Core 2 Duo T8300, 4gb DDR2 667mhz, Nvidia 8600M GT 256/512 (didn't check)

falsely reported as a Wolfdale by CPU-X but CPU-X is a "fan" port of CPU-Z
(running 10.9 Mavericks)

the T8300 is a Penryn core and not a Wolfdale

Checked CPU-World about my 2 Athlon XP CPUs in my Athlon XP rigs.

Here's the result:
A7N8X-E Deluxe - Barton (2500+ btw)
K7N2 Delta-L - Palomino (1900+)

So what potential do those CPUs have? Let me know.

I also have:
Athlon XP 3200+ - also Barton core but it's green, not light brown as the 2500+
Athlon XP 2200+ - this one is a Thoroughbred Model 8
Sempron 2400+ - also a Thoroughbred Model 8
Duron 1300 - Morgan core
Duron 950 - Spitfire core

The 2500 Barton was one of the best overclocking chips back in the day!!! They were usually a great chip. Could be pushed well pass what a 3200 Barton could do.

The 3200 that you have may be one of the 200 front side bus models. Run the numbers and see. It is either the 333 or the 400 chip.

i have a 2800+ barton that i run like a 3200+ and yep i got it booting a bit more OC'ed but i like to keep it 3200+ it does the jobs quite fine paired to my Xvi X1950GT Super AGP

also my duron 700 i have to google it i think it's a Spit ... (it was my 1st CPU after the K6-2 and then i got my 2800+ 2nd hand on Ricardo.ch... sweet deals sweet old time, i kept that habit to hunt for sweet deals since then.)

 

[stinger608]

I have a very odd 1800+ that actually will run at 200 front side bus. I am not even sure what the heck it is to be honest. Its a frigging insane chip though. It would run above what a stock 3200+ would run.
I am thinking it may be a mobile chip or something. Has the same die as a Barton core but I don't think they ever made any kind of a 1800+ Barton core.

strange indeed never heard of that one ...

also HELL YEAH 2000 thanks count breached (well ... if i compare my postcount ... i improved quite a bit since i joined that wonderfull community that TPU is )

 

[Athlonite]

Athlon XP 3200+ - also Barton core but it's green, not light brown as the 2500+

Green means 200MHz FSB instead of the 166MHz of the brown I have the same chip (Athlon XP 3200+) sitting here and it's 200MHz FSB

Pffff attention whore.

Here's the number of the 3200+ if it helps : AXDA3200DKV4E.

 

[GreiverBlade]

Pffff attention whore.

not really ahahah but thanks to give me attention with your sentence

snif annndd i missed a little AX850 Pro for my collection ... i was asleep when the auction ended, note to self : next time more coffee...

 

[stinger608]

Here's the number of the 3200+ if it helps : AXDA3200DKV4E.

Yep, as @Athlonite stated, that is the 200 front side bus variant of the chip. Great chip indeed.

 

[Mr.Scott]

Green means 200MHz FSB instead of the 166MHz of the brown I have the same chip (Athlon XP 3200+) sitting here and it's 200MHz FSB

DKV4D = 166MHz
DKV4E = 200MHz
The color has absolutely nothing to do with it.

They did make XP-M 1800+'s with a Barton core, but they were limited to socket 563.

There are/were a lot of fake socket A CPUs. It's almost easier to find a fake socket A CPU than a genuine one

Very true. I find more fake MP's in socket A than I do real ones.

here ya go a little more info for you

[xBruce88x]

beware of overheating of that gt 8600m. was a common problem with those if i remember correctly.

Ah Barton core Athlons... takes me back lol. I also had a 2500+ and managed to force it to run at 3200+ speeds on my Abit NF7-S 2.0

speaking of Abit... i still have a backup of their site from way back when they closed down, somewhere on my work pc i think

Best mobo ever made for the XP

yep i know ... one (how many are still hidden ) of the well known fiasco of nvidia xD (and people stil think ATI was bad because of the drivers? hehehe ) not starting a war ofc

The common failure of this chip in, amongst others, MacBook Pro's purchased between May 2007 and September 2008 were part of a class-action suit against nVidia which resulted in Apple providing an extended 4 year warranty related to the issue[34] after confirming that the issue was caused by the nVidia chip themselves.[35][36] This warranty replacement service was expected to cost nVidia around $150 to $200 million [37] and knocked over $3 billion off their market capitalisation after being sued by their own shareholders for attempting to cover the issue up.[38]

 

[Athlonite]

I've had to swap my sisters nVidia geforce 8400 in her Hpoo desktop 3 times because each one died finally got sick of it dying and replaced it with an Radeon 1650 damn things still going to this day and she's happy happy

 

[MaxiPro800]

Best mobo ever made for the XP

Along with A7N8X-E Deluxe and DFI Lanparty NF2 Ultra B/Infinity NF2.

IIRC stinger608 (OP) has an DFI Infinity NF2,and it would work if it weren't for the bulging caps it had.(domed tops = failed caps that need to be replaced)

 

[Athlonite]

Ha yes bulged caps are a pain but easy to replace on your own though

 

[kazz]

Very true. I find more fake MP's in socket A than I do real ones.

i have not heard about other fake models than fake 3200+ (and fake 3200 is almost always "rebadged" 2500+, its possible because 333FSB 2500+ has same multper than 400FSB 3200+ and if u force it to 400FSB there is nothing whats tell to computer its not real 3200+..unless stability problems or lack of oc potential).

other models would be very hard or impossible to fake due to their multiper x fsb wont give any other model stock result

http://fab51.com/cpu/barton/athlon-e24.html
"Reference, L5 : Operation mode of CPU" part is really nice peace of information about it.
Its kinda epic and cool how simply is done that multiplier stuff on soc A

Fab51 has been one of my favorite sites for a long long time.
I was mostly referring to fake multi processor socket A's. I'm finding a lot of XP's with just a new sticker slapped on them sporting a MP OPN.
Yes, I know I can mod the L5 to make them work, but that's not the point.
Got a whole stack of fake MP 2800+'s before I actually got a real one.
