Socket A Club

I would take it if I had something to use it on. All my socket a boards are fried from ESD or broke in half from moving recently. ^^^ YAY!

Try the buy/sell/trade forum, may be better luck selling it there?
 
Something he wanted me to pass on while talking to him via AIM:
"When I get back, March 7th 2008, I will start to re-keep track of the club and members...Till then plz keep the Socket A club alive!. Thanks, 3991vhtes"

You think, they probably got people competeting with Pentium 2s out there. Actually what i can do is remove video card and use onboard video, is that allowed?

Edit: not gonna work for me, they are giving out an AGP card, i only got PCI and PCI-e, no AGP.

Check out post #2 KBD! Updated!
 
Thanx JR, next step: will try to overclock it for the fun of it. Are there any special rules for ocing Socket A, do general AMD principles apply?
 
they oc very similar to intels
 
There is one small difference though cdawall. On the older AMD chips it is possible to unlock the multiplier. Just an FYI in case you didn't know.

Alot of times you will notice you will be FSB limited so upping the vcore and multiplier one notch then upping the fsb is the most successful way of overclocking them.

Yeah, pretty good guide. As far as chips go though, you have a pretty decent clocker on your hands.

Look into seeing if you can unlock the L2 cache on your chip. If you can it may make it perform like a barton core.
 
OK, let's see what happens.
 
just got a free sempron 1ghz and KT600 board when i get it to windows i will post some oc pics
 
sweet, I am waiting for my 3000+ to arrive in the mail and I can build mine. I should be able to get a decent O/C out of it. What temps should it get at idle?? I have an Arctic freezer for it.
 
Nice! I am going to make a prediction. 2.7Ghz @ 38-42C idle.
