Tribute to the AMD Athlon XP Thoroughbred 'B' (Computer Geek Warning)
Well...I dug up my old CPU I had shelved for about a year now for an AMD Athlon XP Barton 2500+, and I popped her into my "new" MB...To Say the least, there an engineering marvel, especially for its time....I just wanted to pay tribute to that with sum screenies....

CPU-Z CPU
CPU-Z Motherboard
CPU-Z Memory
SiSoft Sandra Arithmetic
SiSoft Sandra Multi-Media
SiSoft Sandra Memory

A few details...

AMD Athlon XP 1700+ Thoroughbred 'B' JIUHB STOCK 1.47Ghz @ 2.1Ghz @ 1.8VCore
DFI AD77 Pro Via KT400 Motherboard
512MB of PC2700 2.5-3-3-7 Nanya DDR Ram
ATI Radeon 9600 256MB Video Card
40GB Seagate Barracuda IV 7200rpm HDD
40GB Maxtor 7200rpm HDD
SB Live!

Yep...Basic system, and all it does is convert AVI's to VOB's for me....its great....

BTW The reason why it says in the screenies that its a 2400+ is cuz i unlocked the 5-12.5 multipliers on the CPU (only nForce 2 chipsets do it automatically) and am using a multiplier of 12...

Thats cool dude...but ur mobo isnt that cheap if ur runing generic/cheap ram at 208MHz....

Ive got pc2700 (333) Nanya generic ram..it doesnt get any cheaper than that on my 1700+ system.... and ive got her at 175Mhz (350Mhz DDR) on a shitty chipset....

I thinku just need sum JDM tweaks.....

I'm running my P4 3.0 overclocked to 3.74 right now. I did hit 4.0, but it got unstable.

Not bad...to bad the P4 has a low IPC (Instruction per clock) so really, a 3.74Ghz P4 is slower than say...an AMD Athlon XP Barton @ 2.4Ghz even....gotta love the high IPC of the K7..and its even better on the K8 (Athlon 64, Opteron, Sledgehammer/FX etc.)

I thin k im gonna run sum benches on this POS Dell im using at school right now.....SiSoft Sandra here we come...

My mobo is a ECS L7S7A2, it cost $60something brand new, a good mobo was $130+ back then. It's not good because I have to increase the PCI/AGP clock to run FSB higher than 204, and my ram isn't stabile past 208mhz.
The computer boots at 218fsb, but it dies when windows loads.
