hi, while searching through ebay for a amd athlon xp with the speeds about 2500 with the intention to oc i found THIS i currently havea 1.66 duron so i will tell the difference, but im wondering if this looks fake. cause he sed no returns. I dont mind paying the money really just want to know, iv been looking for an upgrade for a whikle and this seems to good to be true. i know the 2500 is ocable is the 2600 here?
first of all: this guy SUCKS with his grammar
second: i never knew that there were 2600 bartons... i think its just a regular 2600+...
this means that if its not the barton core: its OC ability prolly sucks balls
I've got a 2600+ and its a damn good chip.Quote:

For a fiver, how the hell can you go wrong??
The 2600+ is overclockable as this is directly above the 2500 barton. It look fairley genuine if someone is trying to pull a bunk they will not say that it is been used they will say it is retail boxed and unused. It shouldnt have that much of a lesser life, and if it is bust then whats £5 between freinds.
It doesn't look like a barton as the chip die is green, not brown
all the barton means is the replaced core and 333mhz bus speed. anything thats new and 2500 up will have the barton.
The barton core doesn't necessarily just mean 333Mhz or higher FSB. I have a thoroughbred 2700+ (with 333Mhz fsb).Quote:

2500+, 3000+ and 3200+ are ALL Barton. Chips that are rated 2600+, 2700+ etc are Thoroughbread core, which have the 256k cash I believe, where the Barton has 512k.
I know the 2600+ and probably above have 333FSB.
Not so, you can actually get 2600 barton cores. Check my link aboveQuote:

the barton will be on a processer with 333 (standard) providing 333 to lower chips and advantages to higher ones mainly just more cache

Agreed, Hardwareworld isn't for spam
but yes, there is such thing as a 2600+ Barton core
bought it because my pc stoped working so i thought i would try this but no pc still wont work so i cant tell you if it works or not i am now selling off parts of my pc to get money towards new one
He states that in his discription...he says its a barton too'
His feedback is pretty good...so you might try it. Or contact him and make sure its a barton...
AXDA2600KV4D would be a Barton 2600

Yep TB's can be overclocked
Heh, I see Spamsey has an intrest in hardware world Peerzyboy. ;)
he better not bid for it!
okay iv bidded, £6.00 with 2.00 P&P only problem is im going to be out for 2moro 9ish onwards and itg ends at 11 so someone may get it :(
you could always ask someone to get it for you
i keep getting out bidded and the price is going up :(
I'm not surprised! I'd be amazed if you could actually get that CPU for $5!!Quote:

The trouble with stuff like this is that people bid in the dying seconds before anyone has time to react.
are there things you can get that bid for you at the last second? its english pounds btw not usd.
What do you think the most i should pay for this is? remember it in not guarantied and no returns.
Imho $30USD is what I'd risk. Here in the states you can get a 2500barton retail (I know not 2600) for $80USD s&h incld.
I think the secret is to leave your bid as late as you can. If you bid early you are simply pushing the price up. Work out what you are willing to pay, and let ebay do the automatic bidding for you.
For this to be successful you really do need to bid late, otherwise someone else's auto bid will work against you, and force the price up as I said earlier.
it's up to 20 pounds now. doesn't sound like a good risk to me at all, for that price, for a used cpu and no warranty. even if the seller were to claim that it's in working condition, i'd still be wary of it, personally.
Boy I wish more people on Ebay would realize that.I hate to bid on anything before the last 20 hours or so.I usually just track things that look interesting and then bid in the last few hours.Quote:
