everyone check out this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2040984868

When I read what the seller offers, it was very interesting. First he's offers AMD XP2200+GigaByte MB w/Dual Bios+Alum Case. It all seems normal, except the AMD. Here is what it shows:

-------------------------------------------------------------
AMD Athlon XP2200 1800MHz™ Processor

- Socket A Interface

- 266MHz System Bus Speed

- 128KB Level 1 Cache

- 256KB Level 2 Cache on Chip

- Enhanced 3DNow!

- 0.18 Micron Process Technology
--------------------------------------------------------------

What made me think is that the Athlon XP 2200 runs under the .13 micron. Then why say it runs under a .18? Only the MP's XP's and T-BIRD (plus duron) are .18.. But that's not all then I saw the HSF.

--------------------------------------------------------------
T-BIRD SPECIAL COOLER FAN

-Model No.Socket 2100
-Suitable to AMD Socket 462
-Fan: 60×60×25 mm
-Rated Voltage: 12V DC
-Speed: 4500±10% RPM
-Air Flow: 36.0CFM
-Noise: 31.5dBA
-Heat Sink Dimensions: 60 × 60 × 35 mm
----------------------------------------------------------------

First off this is a Volcano 2 I think, because it does look just like it. What made me think is that the name is "T-BIRD SPECIAL COOLER FAN", but I tought this was a XP! I know it doesn't make a difference if a HSF is recommend for a XP or T-BIRD, just as long as the socket is right. But it is not recommended for high-end CPU's such as the XP+.

I think that this chip is really an overclocked XP 1800 or 1700. I could be wrong, but I just though that looked very strange.

cheers all

I actually think he just looked at XP and searched up "XP" and saw .18 micron. Instead of thourobred XP(.13)

I think he just made a mistake with the micron size, The only reason I say this is he 23000+ positive feedback. :eek:
Only 600+ negative.

There were some of the initial 2200+'s released with the .18micron core.
