It is 2012. isn't it?
But I still use this processor Barton 3200+ and I'm very satisfied  .
I'm wondering if there is a way to determine which prosessor do you use if there is no sticker with serial number,it is only bare plate (tray).
Processor works on FSB 333 like barton 2500+,also it works on FSB 400 like barton 3200+ and bios and every cpuid software see it like barton 2500 or barton 3200+ dependable of FSB.
How I'm going to know for sure?
Please answer AMD support team or anyone who can explane it. |

You can tell for sure only by looking at the processor. The part number will tell you if it's a 400 MHz FSB or 333 MHz FSB chip. It may be also possible to determine this from bridge configuration. I don't think that you can determine it via software.

| the CPUID software should tell you if i'm not mistaken. |

Ceramic Athlons/Athlon XPs have groups of pairs of contact pads, marked as L1, L2, etc, on the top of the package. Each group controls something inside of the CPU, such as FSB, size of L2 cache, and so on. Please see this page for details on these bridges:

CPUID can give that sort of info for recent processors, but back in the days of socket A (and equivalent) it was a lot more basic. I'm unsure when various processors received extended CPUID functions, but I am pretty sure that at the time we are talking about here no processors would return default clock/bus speeds for overclocked (or underclocked) processors.

Awesome link. I can see I'll be exploding some socket A chips soon

I always thought you were a naughty girl, but now I'm adding latex to it

I had a pc with an underclocked A1400-133; it showed as a 1050mhz 100fsb.
When I changed the therm paste, the idiot that put it in installed the heatsink inverted and didn't short the right jumper... Btw, I got the pc for free, that's why I didn't bother to check right off for the 1050mhz.
Then it showed as a 1400mhz cpu.
Just to back Deb's above comment. |
