I've got 1 brown and 2 green XP 1800+'s. It's all good.

My XP2200+ is an AROIA and it is green. I have hit 2GHz so far with this processor.

The only real difference is that the greenies have a coating over the substrate that you have to remove a bit of before you can unlock it.

Off topic abit. I'm looking at the retail sticker, and I wonder if AMD like put it over the bridges on every chip, it would reduce the amount of people unlocking wanting to keep their waranties.. hmm... :D

I know many people haven't unlocked because of some stickers being on their L1's..

I just sent in a Green AGOIA XP 2000+ for a RMA. Hope I get an AGOGA back :p

As far as the coating goes, does it add that funny smell? :eh?:

Do you smell the paint off your walls? :D It's gone :p

hehe, I'm curious why would you want a AGOGA instead of an AGOIA?

Must be the paint, but I swear that there was some crazy scent from that chip...didn't smell too good either :eek:

As for the AGOGA, that was a mistype, I ment AROIA hehe, must be that paint again. I want to see how the AROIA compares to the AGOIA in terms of overclocking.
