Athlon 4 chips for desktops

[Stephen Castles]

Does amd sell the Athlon 4 chip ? Is it socket a compatible ? since the K6-2+ and K6-3+ were mobile chips, they had a lower voltage and lots of headroom for overclocking.

[tbirdkiri]

yes to all of the above.

the problem is finding them.

[Stephen Castles]

So they would be a great overclocker ? and do they have the palomino core ? I can get my boss at work to become a AMD channel partner and we might be able to order them.

[tbirdkiri]

in therory they have lots of potential.

and they are paly's, in fact they were the first paly's to be released for sale.

[Stephen Castles]

oh duh:eek: i forgot about they were the first paly's for sale, i just remembered now. I wonder how much more it will cost than a regular XP chip. I think i'm either gonna wait for a Tbred or a Tbred mobile chip.
