Bill and Jozef - RE: Downbinning Athlons AMD has been selling downbinned AThlons for some time now. Here is a post from Ace's - "Thanks to Daiki for sending in word that the newer Athlon 900s are being shipped with 2.8ns L2 cache chips. This is definitely good news for overclockers! Possibly even better news, however, is that week 17 Athlon 700s are apparently Athlon 900 cores with the same 2.8ns cache!" Last year, lots of Athlon 500s were really 650 cores that were marked at 500. That is why people like to buy the Athlon and overclock the crap out of it. THere is some website that lets people send in what their Athlon MHz according to the core is and what MHz the chip is sold at. I don't have the link on me, but it shows quite a few Athlons are downbinned.
