    AMD Stepping Info

    Well It looks like I might be getting a Athlon XP 2500... Yes.. You heard me right!!!! An AMD!!!!

    So here is the info... So can you tell from this how well it overclocks? He also says it is not locked.. Can anyone verify this?

    AXDA2500DKV4D Y857758250355
    AQXEA0327SPBW

    BTW: It would be tied with a A7N8X

    well its unlocked, good steping code (aqxea), decent wafer number (not that it matters), and its a "Y" chip. It will overclock just fine, I think.

    It's not locked - I don't know how to tell how well it overclocks, though.

    I think that thing will overclock great... It's just the "25" that worries me a little, but it's usually false... the SPBW sounds really good too, people have been saying that the 3rd character is the quality of the wafer used for the CPU, the earlier the alphabet the better, so I guess B would be one of the best ones available out there..

    And why A7V8X???? I think an A7V600 would do a much better job

    Its because that is what the dude has I am trade some stuff for it.. So what would you say a used chip with that board would be worth for private resell?

    EDIT:
    Now I just need to find some memory for it.. What do you recommend?

    ygpm.

    I'm assuming you'll want to OC it, if so you'll definitely want some corsair, mushkin, buffalo, etc etc etc.

    yeah, looks like a good chip, but the board is only so so, definately not stellar for overclocking.

    as for memory....since budget doesn't seem to be in your vocab id go for mushkin black level 2, it's guaranteed to have bh5 so you can get the best overclock possible out of that chip is you get another mobo down the road. khx 3000 and 3200 will also likely have bh5, or if you can get your hands on some rev1.1 corsair 3200/3500 that'll have bh5 too.

    Im not overly looking for stellar right now... But since it is a KT400 does that mean it doesnt have locking PCI/AGP abilities?

    Also I just want like 200Mhz FSB or more... I heard it did 230Mhz FSB on a A7N8X...

    A KT400 does not have the AGP/PCI lock and it only has a 1/5 divider, so at a 200 fsb you will be running your AGP/PCI at 80/40.
