Athlon XP 2500+ Mobile Barton compatability

[spotpuff]

Does anyone know where to find a list of motherboards compatible with 2500+ Mobiles?

The prices are pretty good ($129CDN) and I might be interested in picking one up, but I'm not sure. I am currently running a Biostar IDEQ 200N.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but any board capable of 2500+ should be right for it. The mobile just allows for frequency control, and eliminates some cache and some pipelines in the interest of heat. Windows 2000 and above handle the speed via power profiles, in cooperation with an ACPI BIOS.

Er, there is no elimination of pipelines or cache. That would kill performance completely.

Some motherboards will not boot if you plug a mobile athlon into the socket; the only difference is a/re some bridges that are connected on top of the CPU package, but I've read on some other forums that after people modded their athlons to be "mobile" their machines won't boot; that's why I was wondering.

Jesus, I just read your post from another thread; "Overclocking AXP mobiles is not a good idea because they underclock themselves to save power"... wtf. Stop posting if you're going to post retardedly inaccurate information. Either you're a moron or you're doing this on purpose, either way, just stop. Arg, now my head hurts.

Any decent overclocking mobo should do. You want to make sure the multiplier and voltage can be adjusted. Dual channel memory support with a 200+ fsb is a good option.

Since you were asking, Epox 8rda3+ works perfectly with one. Have it stable @ 12*215 (Mobo will not break 220 for some reason, a bit pissed... but it works).

Look what I was able to hit with my 2500+ Mobile on a $50 shuttle motherboard.

if its socket A it'll work
