The only thing I can find out there right now is the Duron 1.6 and 1.8 from Newegg. I'm looking for something to cool down the innards of my cramped HEPC. Any leads? Thanks!

    thought about getting a mobile chip?

    I have - Unfortunately, the boards I'm looking at (price concerns & must be Micro-ATX) don't allow multi-selection, so I'd be stuck at 1200MHz with the mobile chip's standard 6X multi. Any suggestions, Geeky?

    maaaaaybe... how much is it worth to you? ;D

    Yeah, I have some ideas...
    either this thing (when it's back in stock):

    or just pinmodding the cpu or socket. Given that the mobile athlons are unlocked from the factory, setting the multiplier by jumping a couple of pins on the CPU isn't a big deal.

    Any links to a good pin mod guide? Any suggestions on what wire to use?

    I'm considering getting the 1.35V XP2200+ Barton core XP-M that Newegg carries. Anyone know anything about that CPU's potential? I'd like to get in the 1.8-2.0 GHz range on a decently low core voltage.

    You ever get this figured out, GH? If not, post back and I'll try to link you up to the ocinside.de pinmod guide showing the socket view for you to do the wire-in-the-socket trick, which is easy to do.

    Actually, mudd, I figured it out - sorta.

    I bought one of the new 1.5VCore XP2500+ Barton chips from Newegg, and my MCE2005 PC is running happily in the entertainment center with all the new parts!
