looks like this cpu is gonna be a seriously awesome chip for us overclockers. http://firingsquad.gamers.com/hardware/xp2400/default.asp
Overclocking
We were able to hit the same clock speed with our Athlon XP 2400+ as we did with the Athlon XP 2600+: 2,304MHz. This time, we needed 1.9V of juice to get it to run with complete reliability. Lower voltages worked as well, but applications would crash from time to time. Rather than stick with the 144MHz bus we utilized in the Athlon XP 2600+ review, we decided to crank the bus up to 153MHz and set the multiplier for 15.0x. This resulted in a final clock speed of 2295MHz, but with the bus running 6% faster we were able to achieve better performance results. In fact, we broke the 300 fps mark in Quake 3!
bet you AMD is already using all the exact same chips for the 2400 as they are using for the 2600, based on the overclocking results on all the chips ive seen... how could they even find a chip that was capable of 2gigs but not 2.13? no way!! this is gonna be a great overclocking chip, i bet it will be down to like 150 in no time.
