xp-m 2500 overclocks like mad!!!
Just got my xp-m 2500 couple days ago. After 2 days of tinkering I'm completely stable at 220x11.5 (2530mhz) at only 1.775 vcore!
What an awsome chip. Ran 200x11 (xp3200) speed right out of box at only 1.65 vcore. Oc'ers out there.....get on while you can!

Should also mention that's on air coolings with idle/load temps of 37/51. With water who knows what can be attained with this chip!

that because all the 2500 bartons are unlocked. 2500 up to 3100 is just a down clocked 3200  | |

Um, no, almost all regular 2500+ bartons are locked.
calmhorizons: that's a super-nice overclock.

No... all the 2500s are UNLOCKEd. (my version of unlocked means being able to overclock) The FSB can be raised and make the chip run faster.

Don't the terms Locked and Unlocked generally refer to the multiplier?

"Locked" means the multiplier is set @ the factory and unchangeable WITHOUT doing some doctoring of the CPU
"unlocked" means the multiplier can be adjusted thru the BIOS with no CPU doctoring
bumping up the FSB is controlled by the motherboard BIOS not the CPU altho the amount yoiu can overclock by the FSB is limited by the peripherals installed the cpu installed etc

Besides, there are no 3200 Barton-M's.
(BTW, the M denotes Mobile, he's using a laptop chip in his desktop hence the low stock voltage and high tolerances)

calmhorizons is talking about the Mobile version of the Athlon XP 2500+, which run at lower stock voltages and are multiplier unlocked. But I think the reason why they get such great overclocks is not from the fact that they're unlocked, but because they run at such low voltages. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the stock voltage on the Mobile Bartons are 1.45v. You can keep raising the voltage and get higher overclocks.

| I think you should stick with the lingo the rest of us use. Under your terminology, NO chips are locked. At first, XP2500 was unlocked (meaning multiplier) but AMD has now locked ALL new desktop chips except for the FX series. Enjoy those 1700's and 2500's whle you can, we may never see multiplier unlocked procs again.
