Hi everybody

i don't know if this is the right place to post this, but i really searchin for a Thoruoghbred based AMD Socket A CPU with 266 MHz Frontside Bus.

Someone has one to sell ? It's hard to find some here in Switzerland and in Germany there are always problems with shipping  :(

Ebay perhaps?

(PS: Smalltalk and 3dfx related Discussion... ;))

Moved to this part of the forum (seems a better location)

ion ebay there's always the same. no "buy it now" and always trouble to ship it to me  :(

Are you looking for an AthlonXP with a 266MHz FSB or are you specifically searching for a Thouroughbred 266MHz FSB?

If you're just searching for a 266MHz FSB you could also have a look at the AthlonXP-M. The latest have a Barton core but still have a 266MHz FSB.

Shipping is [glb]the[/glb] problem with eBay...

:-X

Barton based CPUs doesn't run on this board :(

Here in the Netherlands Thoroughbred's are sold commonly (secondhand offcourse).

What kind of performance-rating were you thinking off? 2000+, 2200+, etc?

Also, there is Thoroughbred and Thoroughbred-B, does your motherboard support both?

searching for one between 2000+ and 2400+ <- my favourite one :)
hwta's the difference between T-Bred and T-Bred B  ???

The B is the newer core of the two and has a bigger surface, don't know why since nothing else changed :P

2400+ is a T'bred-B btw.

soyo says:
Barton don't run
T-Bred with 266 FSB up to 2600+
Palomino up to 2100+

Well, I got some good news, there are at least two shops here in the Netherlands that still sell a T'bred-B 2400+.

The first is Wintelco. Their email is info [AT] wintelco [DOT] nl

The second is Tailor-made Group. Their email is info [AT] tailor-made [DOT] nl

Perhaps you could contact them and ask if they would ship abroad? Don't worry about the language, most of us Dutchies speak English quite well and a big part is also good at German and a reasonable part kan speak French too :) Just contact them in English first.

Should they sell, you'll get a new one and you'll know it's good.

hey thanks a lot  :D

but where have you seen the cpu in the first shop  ??? i cannot find it  :-/
and it looks that the cpu's are not available in the second shop because there's noted, that the shipping date is unknown

edit: found one in switzerland bundled with an asus mobo :) i get it :D

The shops still have the cpu's.
I visit a Dutch site everyday, they have a pricewatch where companies list their products and their prices. The processor was in that list so they have it in stock.

Very trustworthy site btw, Obi wan can confirm that.

Gee I didn't think these chips were all that had to get. I have a 2400+ that I've sort of been looking for an excuse to upgrade since my motherboard will run @ 333. I think I could get a nice bump out of a 3000+ since the FSB is 333 vs. 266 of the 2400+ and I could maybe get better frame rates for my 9800 AIW I (think) my CPU is the bottle neck.
