Has anyone got an old AMD chip, anything between an XP-1900 and XP-2700 CPU that they've retired off that I can beg, borrow, steal to get my server back up and running please.

The website I argued so hard to reclaim is hosted on my server, along with the actual radio<>internet gateway itself. It's the first time in over 6 years it's been off

I do have a semperon chip nocking around that I found the other day. It was being used in a server, but if wanted you could clock the nuts off it.

Its a 2600 semperon if you want it.

I have an XP1700 if you're really desperate - I even have a motherboard for it, if required. It overclocks really well if needed (I've had it to XP2500 speeds and beyond)

I don't know the sempron CPU, is it pin compatible with the XP-xxxx range? That would probably be a better option than the 1700 I think. I don't really want to swap the mobo unless I absolutely have to as there's software installed on the PC that I need to keep running. Swapping a mobo would probably mean a fresh install of windows and that's really not happening unless absolutely essential.

Depends.

AFAIK both the XP2700 and the Sempron 2600 come in two socket variants.

The XP2700 is socketA (462 pin) and the XP2700+ is socket754.
Likewise the Sempron 2600 is socketA and the Sempron 2600+ is socket754.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

Stan

PS: the XP1700 is socketA.

*confused*

Did AMD ever release anything in socket 754? Thought that was Intel. AMD only did Socket A, 939, and now AM2.

My Friend Matt's socket 754 AMD chip says otherwise

Can't remember what it is though, plus it sucked...

Jasper · 02-11-2006, 09:59

it was the other way round - Intel didn't do 754, they did 774. And AMD's 754 CPU was a Newcastle. and it did not suck.

This one did...

Then again the system was built by Steve (a few of you will understand this...)

Indeed, Socket 754 was used by the original Athlon 64 chips - the correct AMD order is Socket A, 754, 939, AM2. As for Intel, well in their case it's just complicated.
