Athlon FX?

- Start date
I've got an XT as well. It has a CGA card, but only a 4 meg HD. Actually I have the CGA card hanging on my wall right now because it looks so neat. The keyboard for that thing is really nice; unfortunately I don't use it because the keys are in weird places and it doesn't have a numpad. I do have a nice clicky spring keyboard though.
Got you all beat. XT laptop, monochrome text only display, 512KB ram 10 MB 5" hard drive, 5.25" floppy, FULL SIZE keyboard with real normal desktop keys...hell even a num pad. Weight in the neighborhood of 15lbs (that's without the long gone battery which lasted for 30 mins when originally installed) and has a handle to cary like a suitcase...which it basically is.
Oh and outside of PC's got an Atari 800 8bit computer. Basically Atari 5200 with keyboard from like 1981 or 82.

If by halved you mean it lacks dual channel support. It still runs its memory at the same speed. Opterons and FXs have full dual-channel support and more cache. However, unlike P4 <-> P4 EE, Athlon FX is not just a relabeled Opteron. Like ExCyber indicated, they weren't build for multiprocessor setups like the Opterons. However, I don't know if 1xx series of Opterons lacks coherent HT bus physically, or if they can be modded.
built my buddys new pc the other week, had probs and couldnt reset the CMOS so we rma'd the mobo AND cpu to be safe. he originally got the 2500xp barton because of cost and overclocking abilty. well lovely newegg sent him back a regular 2500 (i believe a t-bred core) as a replacement. it looked obviously returned (i didnt think they made them new anymore). i mean the die was brown this time instead of the usual green. i got it up to 2 ghz but he's wondering if he should send it back. if it was me id be pissed and demand what i bought but he's not as picky. just thought id share a story 🙂

I've got an apple 2 at my grandparents.
I have an abacus. So there.
Dyne: If the default clockspeed is 1.83Ghz, it *is* a Barton. In fact, I don't think they have a 2500+ non-Barton. 2600+, probably. Run CPU-Z on it.

Oh yeah? I didn't have anything back then.
I had to use what's inside my head. You could say I was my own OS.

Yeah, and you've got like 6 partitions each with a different version of that OS. Not to mention they were all buggy as hell, and one might even say, insane.
