I have been seeing a lot got up to 2.7-2.8 on air. Not bad, i might get one.

let us know how it cooking...

sure will

I'll probably try to take it to the limit just to see what it can do on my setup, but am thinking that I'd rather have quiet than an extra 100MHz... (atm can only hear hard drives)

People are getting outrageous clocks on these - apparently these are creme of the crop bartons, as they have to be able to run at low voltages for mobile use, and therefore have more headroom than regular bartons - those regular ones being so crappy and all...

Ok, I've got it installed in my NF7-S. It's a 2003, week 40 stepping. This cpu will run in any mobo that supports a barton 2500.

Currently I'm gettin 2.55GHz stable, but that requires 2.0V. It seems that that is about the workable limit for this stepping based on my and some others' fiddling.

I think I'll go down to 2.4GHz and that only requires 1.8V which is more to my liking.

This is all with 1GB RAM at 2.5, 3, 3, 7.

So it's a pretty nice oc-er (although there is one stepping that gives 2.7GHz regularly), and need less voltage than a standard Barton (which for me means that I can run it with a very quiet heatsink fan, quiet is good).

Heh, newegg jacked up the price. Fo sure!

well i'm doing 2.5ghz right now with 2.06v on ABIT NF7-S (MBM show as 2.00-2.02v) at first i was thinking about 2.7ghz but come thing about it 100$ for 200mhz more i'm not going to do that but if i looking for high fsb that will be the one that i want to get it come unlock i can go as hight around 240fsb but no sound so i guess i need vdd mod anyway it really good deal and most i see it run around 2.4ghz have fun with it ....

well after the initial rush to oc to the max, I'm now letting it burn in at 2.4GHz

next week some time, I'll have another play with it and if I see anything interesting happening, I'll report back.
like I said above, I don't really want to go to higher than 2V (currently 1.66V), but i'd also like to see just what is possible on my setup

- in the name of research of course!

there's another batch arriving on monday in the UK and I'll be watching to see if these are a different stepping and how people do wiht them. The chips are very rare in the UK and most of monday's batch are preordered already, and after that, my suppliers have no idea if they'll have them again. If I only had the cash I'd just order another one on the offchance and sell it on if it's teh same stepping... ah if only
