Does it exist??

They are not on the official Amd list. They are probably a short production run for some OEM. Google says lots of places have sold them. I would like to see the small black patch up close. If the AXDA # ends in 4E, then it is a barton with a 400mhz (200 real) fsb.

but 400FSB can't run at 2.08GHz? how is the multiplier then? I think it runs at 2GHz? since 2.2GHz@3200+, 2.1GHz@3000+, so 2GHz is 2900+ or 2800+..

You can't. Mobos never run at exact spec, but none will be out by <b>80</b>Mhz!.. 8Mhz Maybe. That clockspeed is for a Barton 2800+, running at 12.5x166, IMO.

for '400FSB' to be around true, He'd have to have his FSB at around 208Mhz, and no board would run that as a stock '200Mhz' FSB...

The only 2 XP chips with aboout that clockspeed are the Barton 2800+ and the T-bred 2600+, both with 166/333FSB.

There are only 2 400FSB bartons that I'm aware of - 2.1Ghz (3000+) and 2.2Ghz (3200+). They did also make a 166/333FSB 3000+ chip at around 2.16Ghz.

I guess there's a gap in there for a 2Ghz 400FSB chip, which could possibly warrant a rating of 2900+... But then their 3000+ is 100Mhz faster for 'only' 100PR points, and that still doesn't explain the extra 80Mhz....

He lists two different cpu codes, for the same proc.. wtf ??
