[Logan]

Is there a place where you can find out what the codes mean?
I just got my Athlon 1200 and the info on the chip is>
A1200AMS3B
AXIA0108RPCW
What is with the core colors I hear ppl talk about?
Mine looks Blue.

Also on the memory I have I hear there is quality memory and cheap memory how can you tell what is good & what is bad. I know it is suppose to be
Micron 128mb pc133,but no where on the chip does it say micron....
Can anyone help????

You have one of the better 1.2 GHz/200 MHz CPUs.

A1200AMS3B

"A1200" means it's a 1.2 GHz Athlon, the "B" at the end indicates it's a 200 MHz DDR CPU.

AXIA0108RPCW

The "AXIA" means it's a good overclocker.
