...the AMD ATHLONXP 2400 is one of the best cpu from AMD
for full compliance it's better to get a 266mhz memory velocity and mother board @266 fsb minimum
as a 0,13 micron technology you can get your application faster than ever
in comparaison the athlonxp2400 mhz encode and decode wma files(windows media) file than p4 2200
if using memory @ 333mhz welcome to overcloking your processor can be place at 2800 mhz as athlonxp3000+ without problem
the power of A xp has a very hight temperature and need specialized CPU cooler there are some good models as zalman and igloo cooler firm
although die temperature is 85 grad. celcius it can use up to 65.30 w as max power it means a 300w corpus will be welcome for it
mother board on kt400 nforce 2 are optimum for this cpu we tried it on a server machine with mother board Gygabite on Raid...

Advantages: 266sfb, easy install, quick Disadvantages: heatsink in retail pack not up to much
...I used one of these before upgrading and i tell you they rock, the performance for the price is amaizing and cant be matched by any other cpu out there i dont think, running at 2.0ghz with a 266 fsb you know that its going to be quick.
i had mine running with a msi kt400 chipset motherboard and it was rocking, i upgraded because i had some spare cash but between the 2400 and the 2800 there isnt much difference, the stock heatsink isnt really upto much in the retail packs, but a good heatisnk to recommend is the coolermaster jet, my friends are still using these cpu's in there systems and they match me on games and office work easily....

Advantages: Quick, Never an error, Very affordable Disadvantages: NONE!
...I bought this processor nearly 18 months ago. This was before the Athlon 64s were around and when this CPU was a top of the line beast. It cost me around £160 but was well worth the money.
I bought it OEM. This means that it did not come with the official AMD heatsink and fan but then I really didn't want that anyway. I always find these certified fans too noisy so I bought a Zalman CNPS6000-CU AMD cooler. If you have seen these then you will know they are not your typical heatsink and fan. They have a huge surface area and a large fan running at a very low RPM. This makes for efficient and quiet cooling. The CPU runs at around 55C and if you are playing games or a CPU demanding application, then you can turn the fan up to compensate.
Since I have had this CPU for such a long time I would have expected to be playing games now...

Can't remember where I found out about this thing, but immediately wanted one, and thanks to a very helpful German Ebay chap, it was in my possession soon afterwards !
Made of high-quality machined aluminum - I opted for the "limited edition" stealth... more
I bought mine on ebay for £360, I needed it for university study and it's working really well for small documents like word and excel and it will also play some games well, mainly Unreal Tournament online :-)
The disk space of 60GB is plenty for me.... more
