Part the way down they say:

K7OC + Thunderbird

Received a 700MHz Slot-A T-bird, and the K7OC card works perfectly! 850MHz @ 1.8V. 900MHz boots but freezes. Only difference is with multipliers below 5.0x you add 8.0 to get correct multiplier, ie, 4x=12x, 3.5x=11.5x, etc.

I guess if their card works the rest should, they all work on the same basic design.

Thanks Rob
I'm currently running my classic 500 at 650 stable using and alpha heatsink and a decent fan. I'm using the Afterburner gfd. The manual to my k7v says that it supports speeds 800+. Weird eh? I'd get the 800 if I knew i could push it further, but why pay extra for an 800 if i can get the 650 and take that to my m/b limit. So question #2: Has anyone taken the k7v above 800 mhz? P.S. I just installed the radeon 32ddr and bumped my 3dmark score from 2700 (v3,3k) to 4975. Pretty huge improvement eh? I haven't oc'd my radeon yet, the only software that will work is powerstrip and I've had some bad experiences with p-strip in the past. Ugh, I hate that app, but I can't possibly stop now, I'm so close to 5000! Heh, thanks guys.

p.s. Nice rack kat. Especially if that's a black-tail. The pictures a little fuzzy but it looks like a black-tail. I hunt blacktails on the Oregon coast and mulies in Eastern Oregon near the Idaho border. Best place for hardware searches is www.pricewatch.com Never been able to find anything cheaper than there.
