John- 3/9/01 - Be They Palominos, Or Be They Not? For the last few weeks, we've had some suspicions about the latest high-end TBirds being at least protoPalominos. Just dawned on me there might be a way to check. This is what I'd like you to do: 1) If you have a TBird that you bought a while back, you know at least the first four letters of the code on the second line of the processor, and you already have WCPUID downloaded and available, run it and send me your CPU code (like AFFA or AJEA) and the standard and extended CPUID. Look here for an example; in this case, the Standard CPUID is 642, the Extended is 742. 2) If you have a TBird that you just bought, and you know at least the first four letters of the code, either use or get CPUID, and do the same as above. I'm especially interested in any chips marked "AXIA" or any chip that's managing to run at 1300Mhz or more at less than default voltage. Not saying this is going to work, but it might give us a better idea as to what changes AMD's been making to the chips. Ed overclockers.com
