A couple of days ago I posted the Athlon XP Processor Identifier Tool, which basically will tell you what AMD based Athlon XP processor you have! But did you know: Your AMD Athlon XP Processor May Really Be Faster Than You Think it Is.

Well the guy's at Xbitlabs have updated their article.

Our news-story titled “Your AMD Athlon XP Processor May Really Be Faster Than You Think it Is” appeared to be really popular among our visitors and we decided to continue investigating about the possibility of overclocking AMD Athlon XP processors. Presently such CPUs are cheap and have good overclocking potential, as a result, offer excellent value for overclockers and hardware enthusiasts. Since AMD down-clocked certain higher-end CPUs earlier this year, we sometimes receive almost guaranteed overclocking potential, what may seem unbelievable at first!

I guess its no small wonder then that it runs flawlessly at 1907Mhz. Now I just need to ditch this KT3 Ultra2-R and get me an Nforce 2 Mobo. Any suggestions anyone on one that has onboard Raid, preferably not serial ATA? I really want one of these boards, but can't find find one that has a highpoint or promise raid controller. I have grown pretty fond of those and won't even consider buying a board that doesn't have a RAID controller.
