At the store we have green 1600 and 1900, it is just a new fab process. They are a new stepping though.

I just got a green XP 1600+, too... What is that made of? Fiberglass?

[reidroach]

lol fiberglass, does'nt that give way to heat?

[cjlax5]

i heard they are just dying the old ones green to make them look cooler

[Doctor Feelgood]

It's definitely a different material... more like a plastic (i.e. fiberglass).

[Ottoman]

any different in OC results?

[Maximus Nickus]

Cooler?

I asked the owner of a local comp shop recently why some of the XPs were green instead of copper. He told me that all of the XPs from now on will be green. He said it was how AMD was starting to differentiate between the XPs and MPs. MPs will continue to be copper, while XPs will all be green. Not sure if it's correct, but it sounds plausible to me.
