You have no facts what so ever about AMD processes. It's still your WAG. Only AMD know's it's plans. MP is available up to 1.2Ghz. But we've seen sites showing 1.4Ghz and 1.5333Ghz Why replace T-bird if it's working up to 1.4Ghz. Overclocking attempts on the 1st stepping of MP being lower should come to no surprise. These aren't FACTS'. Seems Morgan overclocks just fine amdzone.com Overclocking Using the default voltage I overclocked the Morgan to 1.2GHz with the 240MHz FSB. My next try was 1.3GHz, but it would not post. I'm sure I could have gotten higher with a boost in voltage, but I'm quite pleased with the easy 20% overclock. So climb down off your high horse. M.
