"he XP 1600+'s being sold now in the $50. range all are 166MHz bus parts. They do very well 10.5 X 166Mhz = 1750MHz most at default voltage. The AGOIA's of week 13 2002 are especially good running 10.5 X 174MHz and up. It is as if AMD decided to mark their entire output XP 1600+." That is just wrong; they are spec'd as 133/266MHz bus parts. They may indeed work at 166Mhz, but that is an overclock not supported by AMD or any OEM. From AMD's Athlon XP Product Brief: amd.com "# Advanced 266MHz Front-Side Bus" From AMD's architecture overview: amd.com "266MHz AMD Athlon™ XP processor system bus enables excellent system bandwidth for data movement-intensive applications" If you look at the overclockers database here: overclockers.cssftware.com You will see that the average overclock of the XP 1600+ (a 1400MHz part) at default voltage (1.75V) with air cooling is more typically in the 1533MHz to 1600MHz range. I typing this on a PC with one inside it running at 1600MHz,which is as high as I could push it at 1.85V and good air cooling.
