Title: xp 2600+ unlocked?
Post by: ker on September 14, 2004, 06:30:23 AM

I'm looking at replacing my Athlon 1600+ (it died) with an Athlon 2600+ Barton core CPU, anyone know if the 2600+ multipliers are locked?  I was going to get a 2500+ but they are no longer available.  Thanks

Does your Motherboard support such a big jump?

I just picked up a new ASUS A7N8X-E motherboard, so it will work fine (my old motherboard died too :-( ).

Heres the anser  http://www.techtastic.ca/reviews3/barton-2600.html (http://www.techtastic.ca/reviews3/barton-2600.html)

Most of the locked bartons 2600+ will run at the 2.1 ghz (3000+) speeds just fine . and some still run ok at 2.3 ghz depends on the combo .

Oh yea Ker use the nvidia nforce international drivers . not the Asus packaged ones . These are what fixed my A7n8x-e deluxe

Windows 98se

Windows XP

Theres tons of us running these a7n8x series mainboards so you shouldnt have any problems dragging ansers outta us . :aok
