AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Stepping?

Here's the stepping for my AMD AThlon 2500+

AQXDA0321MPM


Anyone have this stepping or is familiar with it? I want to know how far people have overclocked this. I already checked the database but would like to hear from someone on the board.

Also, I once thought I ruined my 2000+ with as3, but it was jsut the heatsink...was on wrong. Anyhow, I bought a new mobo and proc....my current stuff, and I had a tech guy apply the as3. It worked. Well, I've since learned how to apply thermal paste. SO I bought a new heatsink and reapplied the as3 to teh core. But I could not believe how much as3 the tech put on my cpu. It was ridiculous. Took me forever with q-tips and alcohol to clean it up. But I did it. In fact, it even runs a lot cooler. It was 33-34C idle and 47 after running UT for a while. Not it's 28 idle and 33 during UT. So that proves I know what I'm doing now with the thermal paste. Well, could be the new heatsink, but I don't think it would make that big of an improvement. Antec Aeroflow TMD Fan ect ect

Here's the pic of my cpu after i removed the original HSF that the tech guy did.




I told you. Ridiculous.

haha.. maybe he just wanted to make sure he didnt miss a spot ;x on the pcb hehehhehe

Clean that puppy off really good, and do it yourself, thin coating of AS3 will cure that puppy.
