AMD T-bird 650

[Puter_Addict]

I was reading on the AMD site, to my undertstanding there are 2 types of T-birds. One is old style, and the new is a 256K L2 cache.. Does anyon eknow how I can tell which one I have? I bought an Acorp O/C board, 128 Mram, AMR, 75X Kenwood, 30G Maxtor. I wanna kick some but with this, and I am a littl efuzzy on the T-bird. Let me know please.... oh, it IS a socket A, if that helps any..

If I'm not mistaken, the original slot type athlons were not "T-BIRDS", the T-BIRDS were initially introduced as slot types but then produced exclusvely as socket "A" once the sockets were put into production. I also have a "BLUE CORE" T-BIRD 650, but haven't been as successful with it as I have been with the DURON 600's I've worked with. Mine is limited to 850MHz, compared to 981 & 1050MHz with the DURONS. Still not bad for a $75.00 CPU.

Disregard the signature, that was last week now @ 1050MHz
