The last of the infamous Athlon T-bird line. Also known for a while as the hottest chip ever. Most of the time I've been using this thing underclocked to 1050Mhz by just adjusting the FSB to 100 from 133. Its running at a full 1.4 now in a huge server mid-tower, with only a stock socket a fan, doing alright.

I adore this chip.
I imported it about 3 years ago, because the fastest chips available in the shops at that time were only about 1.1~1.2.
I need to buy pretty expensive/big coolers for this one, but it's woth it.
