Oh, snap, that 2800 is the Barton Core!

I remember about a month ago these were selling for around $35 shipped used. Twas my first processor I bought, I even played oblivion and BF2 on it.

 

[middlehead]

I might have to get that 2800 :thumbsup:

There's some benchmarks floating around somewhere comparing an XP and the Atom, and for a low-powered backup or file server the Athlon XP actually is quite a bit better of an option... if anyone's interested.

 

[bob4432]

thanks, was just going through my closet and found an old skt A / xp2000 and was going to be putting it together for my test/linux/different os rig. this will make it much better

 

[Praetor]

In for one. Time to replace my Sempron 2300+. An XP 2800+ is better, yes?

 

[Spike]

Screw the new ones, I want this used one!

Thanks for the link, I'm getting a 2800+ to replace the 1800+ in my Windows Home Server box.

 

[Lanyap]

OK, who had these hiding in their closet? I'll have to order a few since I have a few Socket A MBs laying around.

Quantity Limit: 20 :Q


Thanks OP

Socket 754 has some cheap deals.

Forget about the Pentium III.

Hope they sell out before I decide to buy more junk I don't need.

 

[philbak70s]

Thanks. I bought 2x2800 for my greedy self.

 

[AAjax]

These things will make great MAME machines
In for 4 of the 2800's

Thanks OP.. haha that is so awesome! My secondary machine is a water cooled rig I built a few years back with an ASUS A7N8X DELUXE MB and one of those open AMD XP 2400-M mobile processors. I never was able to get it to run stable as an XP 2800 equivalent. Now I will be able to finally just pop one of the real things in!

 

[RallyMaster]

Where in the world did they find these....?

 

[Desslok]

Wonder where they found a stash of these?

 

[vitaminReality]

Thanks OP, in for 2 2800s.

Wonder if AMD will still honor the 3 year warranty...

 

[waitman]

just what I didn't need, but am buying anyway. Thanks op

 

[Mac]

Wow. Nice find for anyone not interested in top performance. Very tempting though don't know what I'd do with it. With all the work involved with building up a new system, it almost doesn't make sense to use anything but current technology...unless you just have some old gear laying around that you want to use. After building I don't know how many machines for my family and friends, I either lost interest or didn't have time to fool with it. I don't game anymore, just do Photoshop, video and net surfing.

If these were the XP-M Barton's, then I would probably find myself being inexoriably pulled in. In fact, that's what I still run today, an old Asus A7N8X Deluxe with an XP-M 2600 Barton running at 2300MHz. It would probably run faster except the the FSB isn't stable past 185MHz. The mobo is over 5 years old and CPU almost the same. It is still rock solid.

But, I digress. Hmmm, $15 for a brand new CPU and fan. Hmmm, now what was my account password at ZZF. Oh yeah, I remember....

SOMEBODY STOP ME!

High up on the shelf in a circuit city somewhere

 

[laidbacklarkin]

wha....which year is this ? I know I had a bit too much last night but 2001 it certainly is NOT this morning

Dead for the socket "A" deals.

Still some cheap socket 754 chips.

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Processor Socket 754 Retail 14.99

AMD Athlon 64 2800+ Processor Socket 754 Retail 12.99

Decided not to upgrade several socket 462 boards, only to put them back in the closet with my other old tech.

Typing this on Barton M socket A @2250 Mhz (can do better, but only with more voltage & heat).

 

[alexfort93]

Your link is to the socket 939 one... http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/...99-R&prodlist=celebros

Hmmm, unless damaged by sloppy HSF install/removal, I'd expect the chips to outlive the motherboards. I think I have a good chip in the garage, and two dead boards.

 

[Harvey]

All prices up $5 - $15 or more.

Still pretty good prices if you have the motherboard and you need a CPU.

 

[esquared]

Yep, the old trick. Generate interest and jack up the prices. Good deal on those that bought early.

 

[Thump553]

Sad thing is my main home computer is an Athlon XP 2400+. Running, of course, on a FAR Soyo motherboard I got courtesy of this forum.
