thats the norm for them.....2.5 ghz on air,,,, they o/c like crazy

whats even better to me are the duron 1.6ghz's that hit up to 2.3 ghz /about 3400+ by that scale on air
and thier 266 buss cpus! that go for about $35!!!! so they o/c like crazy too

I have one rig running a 1.6 duron at 333 fsb for 2.08 ghz @ 1.5 core volts and about 40C on an el-cheapo cooler, i could go higer but for now i don't need to

Yeah, they are great. Someone has one at 3500MHz over at amdmb. Not on air of course but still SICK!

I think they still have some at NewEgg.

I have mine @ 3200 with air. At full load I never see temps above 37C

Gotta love Thermalright!!

NewEgg does have them still, I'd like to pick one of the 2600mobiles up, but it won't go that much faster than what I have now- I'd be better off saving for a new Video card (9800xt, x800p), or more ram.

I would recommend you no longer bother with socket-a. AMD is phasing them out (No PCI Express support) and you will soon see 32-bit K8 chips for socket 754. That would probably be the way to go if you want to stay AMD.

It'll probably be a year or more from now before I go to anything that involves A64, PCI express or anything like that-
I'll probably max out what an Nforce 2 is capable of w/ lots of fast ram, an x800 (pro, xt) and the fastest Barton I can find before I throw it all away to upgrade.. Plus I would wait until the new socket type comes out anyway.
