So...I'm in the market for an nForce 2 Ultra 400 motherboard...does this mean that my XP2500 will automatically be unlocked and ready for overclocking? I've never done this before, so the software OC solution sounds great to me...is this only available on the Gigabyte board or do others like the ASUS...

and now that most of the admins / mods have left, JSR sneaks back in under the radar and starts again...

o yea it has these markings on the cpu

So you don't think theres any connection between the possibly bad pad and the fan speed?

I'm not quite sure if I get the logics of cpu heat development. Will a bad pad make the cpu develop more heat?

Look at the AMD web site.

Seams like AMD might be playing with Mirosoft and 64 bit tech.

I am upgrading a friends pc. he has a shuttle ak31 ver 2.0 bios ver 6.0 1 gig 2100 ram. I bought him a 2400+ (without really checking compatability of mobo first :shock: ) because its a 266 cpu.
