). From what I know, weeks 19 and later Thoroughbreds have far thinner PCB's than older ones. This means that, well the pcb of the proc is thinner than normal, and not much else. Explanation and pics here.These new designs have done other weird things in WCPUID. They've been reported as having only 128kb L2 cache, and this 2300+ is another discrepancy. I can assure you with near certainty that in reality, neither of these discrepancies are actually true. What's odd is that Officemax advertises it as a 2300+, and WCPUID registers it as a 2300+. My guess is that its the fault of emachines, the board manufacturer, which somehow carried on to Officemax in their advertising. But for all practical purposes, it is nothing more than a run of the mill TBred B 2400+.
Printed Circuit Board. The green or brown part of the proc onto which everything is soldered.
With AMD's, unlike Intel, it is the motherboard that determines the name string(well there are eccentric cases where this doesn't hold true, but skip that) not the CPU. The motherboard can report whatever it wants. When you begin to adjust the fsb to values not close to stock, they end up posting strange PR ratings. So this 2300+ is an issue with the emachines board, and that board only. No clue why it would do that, probably some kind of a glitch, like a misread of the multiplier.
I repeat once again, there is no such thing as a 2300+.
.
You mustn't have looked far, because the 2400+ is clocked at 2000mhz. There is no AMD processor that is clocked at 1.93ghz stock. Many retailers say so, and I made the same mistake, but just check out the AMD FAQ on these forums and the AMD tech docs.
I'm agreeing with you. I am just saying that it's quite odd that they all appear to think that it exists... Odd Odd Odd. Leave it to the people at Office Depot to mess it up. They never can answer any questions you ask them. I went in there a couple of years ago when I was first getting into Networking and asked them how to share a Dial-Up Internet connection. They tried to freaking sell me a 4 port Router... All you have to do is set up microsoft ICHS on all the computers and be in the same workgroup (that doesn't even have to happen but it's good for filesharing heh). No wait... that happened at Comp USA. Same principal though.Gautam said:
