650 T Bird $65

slower but cheap; maybe just the thing if your Duron happened to have something catastrophic to it lately. :')

Not only that but it looks like the L1's are factory unlocked from the picture. I had a 650 before and it was also NOT locked from the factory ...

looks like they made a slot A and socket A 650 - here's a guide from AMD

Would someone recommend a good mobo for this chip?

Careful, it runs at 1.7v so it may be a reject that couldn't do 700 at 1.6v so it probably won't overclock well.

I guess not everyone is worried about overclocking though. hehe

um, most tbirds run at 1.75v natively, duron's run at 1.6v natively, so if it's running at only 1.7v, then it might actually be great for O/Cing, more headroom under the (usually standard) 1.85v max

This little chip is the bomb. I got mine overclocked right now at 800 at 1.825 volts, need more voltage to go higher...the best thing is its idle at 30C and around 42 full load. These are all green NO BLUE were made at 650. Thanx. If you wonder what board to get the Abit KT7A, those are the new boards that run at 133 and the WILL work with 100 bus athlons so really you would be running 133x6.5 that would be the speed and it should work fine. Peace.
