Question about the 1800XP + I bought

[Cisco Kid]

Okay so I bought an OEM XP1800+, upgraded from my 1.2 T Bird pc266

Here is the info
AX1800DMT3C
AGKGAO149MPMW

Is this a good stepping or is it not something one needs to be concerned with. I plan to check the video out on how to unlock it. If you do not unlock the XP cpu's can you still overclock via the fsb. I know nothing about this cpu.

it seems to be a great stepping... here are some more opinions on it

oh yeah, and about the second part of your post......... yes it is possible to overclock only using the FSB. But i would tell you to unlock if you can get the chance

So far it overclocks well. I just increased the fsb to 140 and wham 1.61 no probs , I will unlock it and then go for12 or 12.5 now I am at 11.5 @ 150.

Thanks for your feedback
