OPGA Thunderbird?

[skold]

A friend of mine had this a while back:



Its a tbird 900, with an opga package..

I havent seen any of these before or after.. Unfortunately he cracked the core putting a heatsink on backwards..

Has anyone seen any more of these? I'd like to get my hands on one..

I think it was probably some limited oem run or something?

betcha it's a mobile.

I think overclock.de had a serial-number decoder... you could prolly find out that way... i can tell at least that it's a Thunderbir "B" which means 200FSB... no way was there a regular desktop chip at that speed.

900/200 is unusual? a friend of mine (the same friend, actually, heh) had a 1ghz/200fsb tbird as well.. that one though was on cpga so it wasnt unusual..

the only thing i find unusual about this cpu is the fact that its opga.. i think i even have another cpga tbird with the ARGA stepping..

[razor1000]

ARGA is the stepping, I'm talking about the first line...

I don't think I've heard of an "A0900".

And what I meant about the FSB was that you wouldn't find OPGA AND 200FSB on a desktop chip.

doesnt tell me much more than i already know..


it does say 'model 4' though. athlon 4 maybe? those were only mobile iirc

[skold]

just to bump this thread, has anyone come across any of these? i just spent about 2 hours looking on ebay and i havent found squat.

I have a 1000mhz tbird. Flys like charm

[skold]

with an opga package, though?

ive got a half dozen tbirds in my closet, but ive only ever seen one opga one, and it wasnt mine, so..

scan/pic plz?

I'm periodically looking for Athlons/Durons on eBay, and I've never seen 900 MHz Athlon in OPGA package. There are only two references for this processor on the net. BTW, you can buy 1 GHz Athlon in OPGA package for $58.

so, the 1ghz ones are common, but 900s arent?

we're still talking thunderbird cores here right?
