I know we have several resellers and people with connections on these boards but is anybody currently actively pursuing a supply of the thorton chips? Maybe we could put together a bulk by if someone can find a legitimate vendor? Please post any updates on the availabilty of these chips.

You must be a Thorton if...


1.) If it's a 2000+, 2200+ or a 2400+
and the second letter of the stepping code is Q

It's must be a Thorton.


2.) If it says AXDC instead of AXDA

It's must be a Thorton.


No sightings yet online. People only see them in small shops.

Heh, the only Thoroughbred B we ever 'saw' at newegg was 2100+.

The rest are just 'Thoroughbreds.' They don't say A or B (except for 2100+)

Somebody is bound to post it sooner or later.

I bet you they're all going to think they got T-Bred A's since Thortons can end in A but they have the second letter 'Q'.
