Agent Smith Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 A bit of a long shot this, but I would be interested in an AMD 1.4 Ghz 200 fsb (must be 200 fsb) processor. Not a Duron. Socket A.This is the fastest chip my mobo can take. There seem to be plenty of 266 fsb's but I can't lay my hands on a 200.Thanks. Mr. Mouse.

Guest ellas Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 not many of them around mr mouse,even new all I could find was a 1100 http://www.compro-int.co.uk/price.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyhanger Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 http://www.baztex.co.uk/files/prices.htmlsee part 3433but £103Are they platinum plated ;) You could stick a new mobo and a x\p chip in for that. :o http://www.baztex.co.uk/ not exactly the cheapest site I have seen :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted July 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 Thanks for those guys. I couldn't find any under £235.00! This is a bit of a long story, but the particular machine I want this chip for, has 6 different os setup's on removable caddies. I don't really want to change the mobo at the moment, as you can guess how long that's going to take to alter all the set ups :( Also if I change the mobo, I'll end up swapping everything graphics, sound etc.I have found a 266 fsb for £43, is it a: possible and b: fairly easy to reduce it's speed. I've heard tell it can be done with pencil lead.Thanks anyway. Mr. M. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyhanger Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 If it is a straight athlon 1400 @ 266Mhz.Because the board doubles the cpu. 133Mhz becomes 266Mhz and 100Mhz becomes 200Mhz.A 133Mhz ( X 2) chip multiplied by 10.5 (multiplier) = 133 x 10.5 = 1400Mhz.A 100Mhz ( x 2) chip multiplied by 10.5 (multiplier) = 100 x 10.5 = 1050Mhz.If you put a 266 chip in it will run at 200. The only trouble would be is it will have a multiplier setting of 10.5. So the speed of the chip will be 1.05Ghz.It should be as easy as dropping the chip in. Of course with it running at 200Mhz you should find that it runs quite cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ellas Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 what cpu you got in a the momemt mr mouse,maybe the 1100 at £59 at the site I gave is the best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted July 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 AMD 950 tbird.Probably not worth the upgrade really, but if I could find one cheap enough, it may extend the usability of the machine for a bit.Mr. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySD Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Why not get the 1.3 Duron its a 200 fsb and costs about £25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted July 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Cheers AndySD, but the performance diff between a 950 tbird and a 1.3 duron are hardly worth the bother. To be honest I've never been a fan of cut down pro's either durons or celerys.I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and change the board an all. The hammer family is out now, so maybe it's time to go 64 bit. B) Mr. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Smith Posted July 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Finally went for £66 (£70 inc post). That was more than I had decide to pay. £56.00 was my top price. Going to change mobo now and get a decent processor.Either 3.2 xp or maybe new hammer chip, have to read reviews on those.Thanks all for your support and enthusiasm though.Mr. Mouse.
