Ah yes...an oldie but a goodie. I'm looking for one of these, either speed will work. But the catch is, it has to be a non mobile one, with the 266mhz fsb. I need one of these to resurect a computer for someone, and me being the dumbass that I was, sold my 2400+ a while back.

So yeah, anyone?

Why? Mobile AthlonXPs do not have locked multipliers. Set the FSB and multiplier to whatever you want in the BIOS.

Do not waste your money buying any new Socket-A parts in 2005.
AMD Mobile AthlonXP 2400+ 35W Barton 1.8GHz 512KB L2 cache, 133/266MHz FSB, 1.35V
AMD Duron 1.6 Applebred 1.6GHz 64KB L2 cache, 133/266MHz FSB, 1.5V

Socket-754 provides what I believe to be the correct solution to your dilemma.
AMD Sempron64 2600+ Palermo 1.6GHz 128KB L2 cache, 1.4V, 64-bit
Socket-754 NForce3-250 motherboard with AGP slot
Socket-754 Radeon XPress 200 motherboard with PCIe-X16 slot and integrated DX9 graphics

I am willing to bet that even though he didn't specify this, that the Mobo wont't recognize a FSB higher than 266mhz

Money is a significant issue to this person, which is why I'm trying to fix the PC rather then build a new one.

Murph, it would be awesome if you could find one of those.

I have a 2200+ if that would work.

But I won't be in town until Friday.

We'll see Doug, I supposedly won an auction for a 2600 on ebay.

sorry, i checked and the only thing I can find laying around is an AMD 1600. Sounds like you are looking for something with a wee bit more firepower than that though. Confused
