woo hooo another club I can join.. I had to sell all my good stuff to finance my new comp so I am using a SKT A Sempron 2200..(and a PC Chips mobo, yee haaa)
I found a AIW 9800Pro and a 256 stick of mem.

Anyone have a pair of 512s or a couple of 1 gig sticks I can buy?

What kinda RAM you need? I got 2 512MB sticks of PC133 RAM that i'm selling from from Socket A PC, the one in my sig.

MKmods · Jun 13, 2008

thanks for the offer :respect:

, I need a pair of DDR.

KBD · Jun 13, 2008

Sorry, all i got is SDRAM and DDR2 (2x 512MB of Corsair XMS2).

MKmods · Jun 17, 2008

BIG Thanks to Greasemonkey for the 2 sticks of memory, Very nice of you.

UnkAsn93 · Jun 17, 2008

Greasemonkey is a great guy. :toast:

KBD, think you could let one of those go for a donation to the "Tom's computer needs RAM fund"

Which one do you need? SDRAM or DDR2? I can give you a special reduced price.

UnkAsn93 · Jun 22, 2008

I don't think I'd need the RAM Anymore, thanks anyway, KBD

Hey all fellow Socket A'ers, I'm selling my CPU.

got some good news... I am getting a Athlon xp 3200+ and 1gb of DDR ram.Getting it for helping a friend build his new rig.now that he upgraded he wants to throw his socket A stuff against a wall but i talked him into giving it to me.

If everything goes right and the MSI board that i got works i will have a socket A rig up by next week. BTW i lapped the HS on the north bridge for the MSI board it was bad. I also used MX-2 on it. I hope the board works so i can get the 3200+ clocked.

If everything works out what speed should i aim for? The board has a Nforce 2 400 ultra

As long as the Stepping doesnt say 0329 or higher you will have an unlocked chip, but usually the XP3200 doesnt overclock well at all, but it is still capable of gaming.

If anything i will be using it for the Internet and F@H mostly

dchrsf · Jun 30, 2008

Shoot for 2.4. Locked, at an 11 multiplier you will need 218FSB. Tell us how it goes.

p_o_s_pc · Jun 30, 2008

I will let you know in a few days if the board works. but that is only a 200mhz overclock isn't it?

eidairaman1 · Jun 30, 2008

go here for stepping info. Only chips that are unlocked after 0329 are AXP-M CPUs

p_o_s_pc · Jun 30, 2008

I don't know what the stepping is on the chip as i don't have it yet but will sometime this week well i should.My friend(black light burns) still has the chip.

eidairaman1 · Jun 30, 2008

well it directly shows you where to look.

What you got to do? I have NEVER owned a socket A and never even used one :eek:

but i got a kick ass deal on a board that has never been opened and i have a friend giving me a CPU and ram so i just want to see what i can do.

pagalms · Jun 30, 2008

You can unlock multiplier for several CPU's by connecting L1 bridges on it. guide. You can use pencil instead of paint. But be sure to connect nothing else than each two points.
If bridges are already connected, then pinmod may help.
There are lot of overclocking/pinmodding/etc guide for soc A cpus over teh internet. Just need to do some google'ing.

so all i would have to do is connect the L1 bridges.. sounds easy if you have some light and a place to work...

not to mention a good magnifying glass, also the Schematics are at Fab 51.

p_o_s_pc · Jun 30, 2008

i got the cpu and ram today (thanks blb)but he forgot the video card

p_o_s_pc · Jul 14, 2008

I have had a hell of a time getting a socket A rig working. I have had 2 mobo die 1 dead CPU 1 dead video card 1 512mb stick of ram dead... I give up. Now i have a 256mb stick of DDR 266 and some Athlon CPU i think 3000+ with no use... ohwell

cdawall · Jul 14, 2008
