How to explain it-got overclocking? Also some of these cpus have been downgraded. http://lowyat.isentral.com/guides/athlonxp/

To be more precise, that “downgraded” in the sense that means that the CPU was not able to maintain full stability at the given rating with default voltage, so it was remarked to a lower model number. For example, 1700+ downgraded from 2400+ means that this CPU cannot work at 2400+ with core voltage 1.6V, but it can probably hit this and maybe even higher frequencies with voltage increase.

But 2.3Ghz for a 1700+ is a lot since the 1700+ runs @ 1.47Ghz @ stock voltage and FSB.

I'm usually on AMDMB.com and they have a very active forum on this subject. A particular thread of interest would be this one. (http://www.amdforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=200181)

As I have previously posted here on G|A?, the latest T-bird rev Bs are very overclockable with some 1700+ processors attaining 800+Mhz over the base speed (with good air cooling).

I personally have an XP2100+ processor with the AIUHB stepping. I have been able to attain higher frequencies than my current 2366Mhz speed with my setup, but I don't want to have to turn up the fan speeds on my otherwise quiet water-cooled system. :)

1.6a at 2.3+ ghz
1.8a at 2.6+ ghz

Ask cf for details.

Yeah, the 1700+'s right now are running with the T-Bred rev. B cores which give the XP line a lot more in Mhz room for AMD (and us...:hehehmm: ) to play with.

We are not talking about your Intel P4... ;)

...and if we were, I'd have you beat -- My P4 1.6A can reach 2.66GHz with near-perfect stability @ 1.75v

Still, nice to see that AMD chips are starting to become more overclockable -- and with those speeds, they'd be faster than an Intel P4 3.06GHz processor. :)
