hey yea, speaking of tbred 1800's
i just got my t-bred a 1800 in the post and its got a pretty big core, its AGOIA stepping, but this sounds real newbish- is there any markings to show its a t-bred?

the l1 bridges are cut, its a green package and the core is square- not rectangle.

uh yea it sounds noobish but at least im asking.
i have my major doubts but there is a B in the bottom corner of the package but yea- im seriously doubting that would make it a t-bred b :D

That doesn't sound like a Tbred to me.

Have a look at the pics in this thread.

If the marking is on the core then it's a Palomino core. All Tbreds have the marking on a seperate piece of "sticker" on the bottom of the CPU.

Plus, the core WILL be rectangle instead of square for the Tbred core. AGOIA is a Palomino stepping.

/edit

Don't expect to see TbredB 1800+ anytime soon. They maybe here sometime in late Feb or early March, 2003.

oooo nfc is in for it now..
i payed for a t-bred a core and they send me a palo..
whats more i cant get it to work in my mobo (ga-7vaxp)
ill start another thread about it now

bugger pie, sorry to hear that ay. D;

Im going to get my self a tbred a 1800 now :D

not from nfc tho :p

[SecretSquirrel]

where from??

[p01s0n_p1e]

damnit! stupid nfc..
well i got the mobo=cpu working fine, cant boot into windows now..:mad:

i will be sending nfc an e-mail about this, especially as on thier site it actually says "amd athlon xp 1800- (throughbred a core)"
and i payed $204 in total which is a very high price for an 1800.

you guys rekon i should keep the palo or send it back and demand a t-bred?
which will oc better, its an AGOIA which is a good stepping i believe? which will run cooler?

[Method]

heres my email from ETC Yes we do have t-bred boxed product in stock at both branches, price is $165+gst, plus freight fee of $5 if any.

and a bird told me that QBM have oem tbred cpu's.

I emaild them yesterday along with some other retailors (starlyte xp computers and etc computers) so far etc are the only one to reply, they replied on xmas day :0 good on them. most will be closed till around the 6th.

[p01s0n_p1e]

well if ETC is open..
gonna e-mail em now, see if can get a refund from NFC.

regarding the tbred Bs... there were some reports that there will be 1800+ Bs in circulation at some point, but AFAIK thats pretty much the extent of the situation. personally i won't expect to see any in NZ until around march.

[Wibber]

the 333fsb xp2600's I had a play with were b's

[Tens0r]

poison i doubt they will refund you your money . since the goods arent faulty and instead will more than likely swap it for a tbred a for you.

when did you get ur cpu? :D
ino when i ordered mine bout a week ago i asked them if they had any and the guy told me that it was for a customers pc getting shipped out in a day but he said if i came and paid sameday i could have it....which i did lol.

maybe i got yor cpu :D ....dont worry man it did 2010mhz! lol

[p01s0n_p1e]

tens0r- i hate you already..
i dont mind as long as in the end i get my tbred :)

[Tens0r]

ring them up..he said it only takes them half a day to get one from the supplier.

[I.R]

Pie send it back coz it's not what you bought for and it's very unlikely a .18 micron (is that right??) chip is gonna OC better than a .13 chip :mad:

I'll say it again NFC can kiss my ass :mad:

They don't food the market with chips unless people will be buying, and Q1 is the worst for sales.

Intel are supposed to start a new price war scheduled for Q1, but that could be Jan, Feb or Mar.
