not sure about this i have conflicting answers, a friend at uni told me you cannmot use AMD XP-M on a standard Socket A PC motherboard
i would like to know, if you could take it out the package and slap it on any socket A board?
and if so, whats it overclock like (2600) i have heard that the 2400 overclocks great
and how about the vcore, i currently have a 2600+ non mobile but the multiplier is locked i have the vcore at 1.6 ish but on mobiles isnt it like 1.4 ish, it is ok to have the vcore on mobiles up to 1.6 like the desktop chips?
it's just i am planning on building a socket A system for someone (cant afford 64) and i cant find oc'able bartons anywhere and i know the mobiles are all oc'able just wanted to know if i would be able to put one in a desktop board
and if it would overclock well (2600 to 3000 speeds, possibly 3200 depending on heat)

Your friend is wrong. However, you will need a motherboard BIOS where can adjust the multiplier and FSB, or the XP-M will default to a low multiplier. To get the best overclocking results, you'll also need the ability to adjust the core coltage.

MSI didn't make the NF7 boards, Abit did. The following are the two best > XP-M overclocking boards:
yeah sorry about that i just didnt put manufacturer name in front, thought it would be taken as common knowledge most people know abit do nf7

anyone?>
cheers for the help (in advance)>
what are the standard settings for a XP-M2600+
i will guess and say
11x166 : vcore: 1.625 11.5x166 : vcore : 1.625
or does the vcore stay at 1.45 when operating at normal factory speeds?
