janfebmar 0 Posted February 20, 2005 you didnt purchase a AMD XP 1800+ ? because in AMD the number on the CPU isnt its clock frequenzy. i dont remember about the 1800 or any of the normal XP series before BARTON , but my guess is that the 1800 runs around 1.3 and 1.4 GHZ. so if thats the case, your pc is just fine. and i sure wouldnt want to clock a 1800+ CPU to 1.8GHZ unless you got some hefty cooling. not some crappy bulk heatsinks with fan.. hehe not without a firebrigade anyways.
