Post subject: what type of AMD processor on board ?
Archived from groups: alt>comp>hardware>amd>thunderbird (more info?)

I am new to the world of AMD processors and I would like to know - without
opening the case - what type of processor is in the PC.

When I check via the BIOS I see AMD Duron 1300, the vendor claims it's "AMD
1800+".
Apparently rules are different compared with Intel so I am looking for the
advice of the AMD experts.. what is the correct and easiest way of
determining what's inside the box ? (without opening it).

Any utilities available that give the right type of AMD processor ?

Thx

Can't tell you what the default speed is though, only the current speed.

Let us know the details and we'll tell you what it is.

This is what CPU-Z gives back on the PC;

Name : AMD Duron
Code name : Morgan
Package : Socket A
Technology 0.18
Specification : AMD Duron
Family : 6 Model : 7 Stepping : 1
Ext Fam : 7 Ext Model : 7
Instructions : MMX(+), 3DNow!(+), SSE

Clocks
Core Speed : 1301,9 MHz
Multiplier : *13.0
FSB : 100.1MHz
Bus Speed : 200.3MHz

Cache
L1 Data : 64 KBytes
L1 Code : 64 KBytes
Level 2 : 64 KBytes


That's it for what comes up under the CPU tab
How do I get an idea now whith respect to the 1800+ specification ?

Thx

They have sold you a duron, not a amd 1800+ ..
Tho.. It could be a board with a integrated processor too
if that's the case, and it's a duron, then they usually shove them to the
edge so they can sell it as a higher processor<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Sounds like a Duron.

Thats a Duron core.

Model 7 = Duron (Morgan)

Duron Sized Caches.

You've been sold a Duron 1300. No 1800+ anywhere to be seen. Durons are
called by their actual clock speed, as far as I know.

Even an XP1800+ is 133MHz*11.5 = 1533MHz, not 1300MHz.

PC CHIPS Markets one of their boards with a "2000" duron onboard.. but they
claim a 200mhz fsb..
it says "266mhz supported bus" but can only take ddr200/266
so it looks like 100mhz fsb
and the processor is a duron @ 100mhz that's running at 20x clock

Verry misleading and their site doesnt list details of the board verry well
either
it looks like the core board is the v75a of that one

the "2000" chip is what I see it being sold as by a few different sites..
for this thing being 55-60quid after vat I guess it's still a pretty good
deal for someone just looking for a pc..
verry misleading for those who do purchase it however<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

That link doesn't provide the details you suggest. The board has a built in
Duron.

This board has a socket 7 for XPs and the FSB can go to 133MHz (DDR), which
supports Athlons at 266 FSB and Durons at 200 FSB.

Indeed. Marketeers strike again. I can only find one UK supplier calling
such a thing a 2000+, I'm not sure where you find your info, you must be a
better googler than I!

The below is from this link:

NOTE what it says about an 'Embedded D2000+. I believe that the vendor
should have said "D1800+" (which is really a Duron 1300) and not an 1800+
which actually means it is an Athlon.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

This is an older model AMD, the FSB is only 100mhz.
a 1800+ Thunderbird would have a faster FSB of 133mhz
This chip has only 64K of level 2 cache, like a Duron.
An AMD Thunderbird comes with 256K of level 2 cache.

No.. They overclock them.. (extreme like)..
But the durons are not PR chips so they cant really say that it's a 1800+..
Now keep in mind that the older boards WERE sold as "1800+" but the newer
boards are now sold as D2000+
so I figgured they have just figgured out how to make that last little
"Boost" happen from the processor<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Thank you all for your help and valuable information.
It looks like a cheap sales trick to me - the customer is fooled !
