I have been reading some threads over at http://hardforum.com and that's how I found out about the mobile Athlon XPs. I figured, heck, it's only about $90 so i ordered one from newegg.com.

I ordered the 2500+ model and installed it. Very nice chip.

I think this screenshot says it all. ( sorry for the slow load ).

Ever heard the term 'crop' in relation to screen shots?

crop? What is that? Nyar is right though, you should have cropped, it would have saved us from some waiting, and then you wouldnt have had to block out that aim window

(ah so this is the 2500xp-m processor - jeezus unlocked 2)

I'll crop it soon, sorry about the load, but that is also my "post your desktop pic" for other places.

I never really felt the need to overclock a CPU. I did one time feel daring and overclock a intel 233mmx to run at 243. I didn't actually mean to, just it was one of those jumper motherboards. And of course I couldn't find the manual and the board wasn't labeled so I guessed. Was a good running computer for its time though.

I goes, over to newegg and looks at price.. All I can is DAMN!. What kind of cooling did you put on that badboy? Now, I'm thinking of getting one. Hell, if you can get that speed out of the 2500. I might buy the +2000XP and OC that one. Only will cost me 60 bucks. Or do they bartons OC better than the Thoroughbreds?

AmadeusZull · Post by **AmadeusZull** » Fri Apr 09, 2004 11:44 pm

bartons own the older XPs in OC-ing.

but if you want to OC like this dude be sure to grab the mobile 2500xp.

as for cooling just a good hsf would delight you.

(regular barton 2500 is like 70, now 2.2Ghz so easy to achieve)

does it run stable at that?

ALSO, i have the mobile 2500+xp processor in my laptop, do you guys think there is a way i can "upgrade" my heatsink and then oc the chip? or could i oc it and not worry about the heat to much.

AmadeusZull · Post by **AmadeusZull** » Sat Apr 10, 2004 10:35 pm

if you got warranty on ur laptop i wouldn't try.

MKE · Post by **MKE** » Sat Apr 10, 2004 10:59 pm

yeah, for the next 3 years.....

i read somewhere you can do a software oc, would that void my warrenty....and if so, (and i dont have to flash a new bios) how would they be able to know.

and if there are some oc'ing software, what are they?

AmadeusZull · Post by **AmadeusZull** » Sat Apr 10, 2004 11:16 pm

i'm sure your bios is locked. and overcoming that would probably void ur warranty.

exactly, You also need good air cooling. I have a thermalright SP-97 and a 92mm vantec tornado.

Watercooling on the other hand could get you way above what I got,
