The German website Chip.de has posted their modding guide for Athlon XP processors with a FSB of 133/166Mhz: they will show you, how to turn these Athlon XP processors - starting with the Athlon XP 1700+ and XP 2600+ CPU's - into FSB hungry clock monsters. They moded these into Athlon XP 2500+ and 3000+ with a 400 MHz FSB and turned the Athlon XP 3000+ Barton into a Athlon XP 3600+ with 400 MHz FSB and all that for 1 Euro! Here's a quick translation. The fact that with the Main board modification shown also in the budget segment goes much shows the results of the "smallest" Thoroughbred model, the Athlon XP 1700+. Nominal the processor with a clock of 1,467 MHz clocks and with a Frontside bus clock by 133 MHz (11 x 133 MHz) is propelled. But even the Thorougbred of the first hour can be accelerated on a system bus clock of 200 MHz. The obtained result is more than tidy: With a clock gain of 533 MHz and a frequency of branch-pure 2 GHz the processor runs in approximately as fast as a future Athlon XP 2500+ with beard on core. That is based on a present price of approximately 65 euro everything else as bad.
