Last year I ordeed an OEM Athlon Thunderbird 1.2 for my KT7-RAID as an upgrade to the Duron 700@900 that I have been running for a while. I finally installed it this weekend and it is not what I thought it was.
CPUID shows the processor as a "Mobile Athlon 4" and the code name as "Palamino". The CPU shows as an Athlon in the BIOS, but not identified. I had to set the multiplier manually (12x is as high as supported) and the board only supports 100mhz FSB, so I am running at 1200mhz.
It is running great, but is there a downside to have this CPU? How can I figure out what model this is? And how can I find out what voltage is best to run?
Thanks.
