I'm wondering why I keep seeing the 2800+ CPU w/333mhz FSB rated at different speeds, some show it at 2.08ghz and some show it at 2.2ghz, both w/333mhz FSB. Which is the correct setting? My Abit NF7-S board defaults it to 2800+ at 2.08ghz with a 12.5X multiplier. My 2700+ defaults at 2.17ghz at 13X Multiplier, what gives?
 
That doesn't answer my question though. Why would the 2800+ default at a slower speed than the 2700+ both w/333mhz FSB? Which is the correct setting? Websites show different info on the same CPU.

2800+ 2.08ghz
2700+ 2.17ghz (faster)
 
The 2700+ is a tbred. It has half the L2 cache as Bartons. The extra cache makes up for the mhz loss.

So why do some websites rate the 2800+ at 2.2ghz and some rate it at 2.08ghz, whats the difference, did the 2800+ come out as Tbred? I don't think so.
 
If it's a store then it's probaly a typo. If it's a review/benchmark then it's probaly overclocked to 3200+ speeds.


Do you still have the links?
 
just put your fsb to 400 and don't worry about it..

your particular cpu must be a 12.5 mulit x 333...

and show me a link to a 2.2ghz 2800+... i thought that 3200+ was 2.2ghz
 
ok I have the 2800+ chip that deafults in the bios to 166 x 12.5 ( 2.08 ) and I just changed it to 166 x 13.5 ( 2.25 ) and it seems to run fine so far how can I tell if I got the t-bred or barton ?
