I have a slot a t/bird, I finally got the case apart, there is a little thin plate with tiny numbers on it,glued to the centre chip, is this the cache? if not , then where is the cache chip? Exactly what numbers tell me the core size? is it any of the numbers on the centre chip?
If you have a T-Bird you will not find the cache chips, they are inside. Read the numbers on the cpu core (what you think is a metal plate) It should look something like this (from my 700):
K7800CPRBBA
This shows 800 core K7800
AND .18 Micron BBA (The A)
The .25 Micron ones end in C
Current Main Rig:
AMD FX55 @ 2.9 GHz
2 GB PC 3200 DDR RAM
ABIT KN8 SLi motherboard
ATI X1900XT O/C to XTX speeds
Well you can clock it up untill it dosnt post anymore.. but I think its safe to say you have a 900.. what Core did you think you were getting?? It should very easy to hit a gig with that baby!! I'm gonna check my T-bird out, its says its a 650 on the cartrige well see.. I know it will do atleast 800 @ 1.7 volts and 900 @ 1.7v but I have a crapy HS and it was running kind of hot to the touch but was stable.. we'll see what the real limits are when I get the water cooler with the two 72w pelts up and running.. Good Luck with your T-Bird!!
Thanks AMD100, I thought it was a 900, I just wasnt sure, I had to use a magnefying glass to read those tiny #s, they dont make it easy for you, I think I strained my eyes, the case was a pain to get off, its not in perfect cond anymore, I was swetting like crazy, just hope I didnt expose the cpu to too much static.
