Hi all,

I appologise for my ignorance on this subject.

I have just installed an Athlon 2500XP and it is being picked up as 1.83Ghz. What does this mean?
My friend has installed an Athlon 2400XP and his says 2.00Ghz.
Not a major problem, i suspect, just wondered why a 2400 is higher than a 2500 ???

Hi Tony...!

My AMD 2600+ Thoroughbred-B runs at 2100 MHz as standard... Wink

...!
(We'll have none of this "over-clocking)... Shocked

....

I think it's something to do with comparing the speed of Intel processors with AMD processors.... Wink

(AMD rekon they are faster and more efficient, type for type)... 8)...!

Maybe your friends is over clocked a bit. If you have brought a 2500XP mobile chip then you should get good o-clock results from it too.

My old AMD 2800XP barton cpu run standard at 2083MHz.

AMD64 3500+ @ 2200MHz 400FSB&&MSI K8N Neo 2 mobo nForce3 chipset&&1gig Corsair XMS PC3200 timings @ 10.2.2.2 &&XFX 6800 Ultra @ 450/1200&&80gig HDD&&Loadsa fans!!!

The 2500 is a Barton it is clocked lower than the 2400 but will still out perform it, this is because it uses 333MHz FSB and not 266MHz.

The reason that AMD can perform aswell or better than Intel processors is because of the work done per cycle is higher. AMD processors get through 3x more data per cycle, this explains the better game performance.

My system:Intel Q6600@3.6GHz, Corsair XMS2 4GB DDR2-6400 (4-4-4-12-1T) , Sapphire 7850 OC 2BG 920/5000, X-Fi Fatality, Corsair AX 750, 7 Pro x64

MY 2600 athlon is clocked to 2.25gig, my PC never crashes. Don't let anyone put you off clocking your processor. Athlons' love it. You have to remeber to treat it like a lady, push it too far & you will get a slap! I love clocking my PC, it is a great way to learn what you can & can't do. Having said, that you need to know what you are doing.

You need good memory, at least 333, preferably 400. A good power supply, I would recommend a 550W, they are really cheap, mine only cost £25. My 550 Antec cost £80 and blew up after 6 months. My PC World "emergency" 550W has lasted for 10 months without any hiccups.
