This may be why we are seeing only 2200+ Tbreds: I've actually been using a TBred 1800 for a week now (picked it up from a local distributer here in Sydney). I've found a rather major bug...not in the chip, but in mobos. It seems most mobos can't clock the VCore down to the required 1.5 volts yet. I've been speaking to a few mobo companies, and many only have the 2100 and 2200 XP in stock for testing so far (VCore of 1.6 and 1.65) which don't result in the higher heats I'm showing... I spoke with AMD about the problem, and they are already working with mobo manufacturers to get the new bioses out. So, if your new AthlonXP is a yellow-brown colour, make SURE you get the very latest bios! BTW, the TBred didn't come advertised as such, it was just another AXP (random)...When I saw the new shipment after someone said "hey, looks like AMD changed colour on their chips!" I snagged it! :-) Cheers, Charles forums.tweaktown.com
