Hey ChrisCramer247, it'll be a long wait:
Newsflash from a couple of weeks ago: Barton won't come out until (Jan-Mar) 2003, instead of December 2002
and Hammer won't come out until (Mar-June) 2003, instead of January 2003.

Also, there'll be three (!) versions of Athlon XP 2000+
People talk about this but I've never seen a comprehensive list, so I made one,
Here you are:

The following is from: Overclockers.com and theinquirer.net
Thoroughbred, Revision 1 will begin with the code AXDA2200DKV3C.
The "K" means it's supposed to run at 1.65V.
The second line of code will begin with something like AIRGA

Thoroughbred, Revision 2 will begin with the code AXDA2200DUV3C
The "U" means it's supposed to run at 1.60V.
The second line of code will begin with something like AIUAB

Thoroughbred 3, called Thoroughbred Revision 2, 333 FSB and marketed as Athlon XP 2700+ official announcement date is October 7, 2002.

Speculation only, unlikely:
Thoroughbred, Revision 2 333 FSB
1.87GHz XP2300+
2.00GHz XP2500+
2.13GHz XP2700+
2.27GHz XP2900+
Thoroughbred, Revision 2 266 FSB
2.27GHz XP2800+

For those of you that knows motherboards, can this chip be supported by an older MB I have.

It is a 8KTA+ and the manufacturer is Epox. The Epox website says that this MB can support up to 200 FSB though.

http://www.epox.com/html/motherboard.asp?product=EP-8KTAplus&lang=1

Will it work?

 

[Miramonti]

Great info c627627, thanks for putting that together.

Looks to be over fella's

No, if you go to pricewatch.com you'll see that the highest 200 FSB they have listed is 1.2GHz Athlon Thunderbird, (That's Athlon XP's (Palominos 266FSB) predecessor.) You need a new motherboard and probably new DDR memory to take full advantage of Athlon XP. Fry's & Newegg.com had ECS K7S5A motherboard dirt cheap for around $50, so that's your cheapest option.

 

[Chang10is]

109.99 for me too. doh...

Signed up to AT just to say THANKS!! I ordered this with 2nd day air when I first say the post. Just checked my order online and it says the price is $75.94 and that it has already shipped. I sure hope it comes!! Thanks again and good luck to the rest of you.

how in the world.... something fishy here.... mines saying already shipped as well. that's mighty quick shipping for this thing... hmmmm :frown:

 

[nickmarine]

I ordered 2 and figure I can try and fight, called once and was not told no but told to call back in the morning
Its back ordered so I have a day. I figure I'll hit em with one last flurry of crap about customer service and first time customer and some other tricks and if all else fails cancel the order.

You cant win if you dont play

Hope others are more lucky than I so far

Nick

 

[Engineer]

Already shipped here!

Received GOOD tracking number in confirmation e-mail this morning...with the $69.99 each price listed!

Should be here on Friday!

Don't worry this is typical of Outpost. They probably have the fastest shipping on the net. If you get your order in before midnight it will ship out that same day. Since I live in Ohio the same state that they ship out of I can order at 11:30 pm and have my order shipped ground and I'll get it like at 10am the next day.

Outpost shipping rocks!!

 

[KennyH]

Mine has been shipped as well, tracking numbers check out also.

 

[jcarson]

REAL HOT!

I don't know how, but mine arrived just now!?! I live near Allentown PA. I guess they ship from there. I ordered last night too.

This is the fastest shipping I have EVER seen. Total bill? 77.94. I chose overnight BTW.


This deal is HOT. Now, lets hope it works.

 

[Chowimmark]

Outpost is really confused! Late last night the Description page showed $69, but at checkout is showed $109. Today the description page shows $109, but the checkout page shows $69. Also last night a sales rep said it was a price mistake and that they were out of stock anyway. Well I just ordered two @ $69.99 each, they show in stock, and I recieved an order #. Now I just hope that it goes through and I get them on Friday.

 

[RadioUdotCom]

I was just going to post the same thing.

Site shows 109.99, I added it to my cart and it came up 69.
I ordered mine, lets hope it goes through.

Outpost # 3237231 Qty: 1
Description: AMD Athlon XP 2000+Tray Processor
Price: $69.99

SUBTOTAL: $69.99
Discount: $0.00

[Oakenfold]

Also got a shipment confirmation.
Still showing same price, anyone checked their CC temp auth's yet?

 

[jcarson]

Just checked it out. Runs NICE. upped my FSB to 140 and now I have a $70 2100+! This is amazingly hot!

according to Epox the 8kta+ rev. 1.2 board can support 1.3 Duron and only 1100 Athlon B

 

[Stevem627]

Just ordered one. Shows $109 on the page and was $69 in my cart so it's still $69.
