Odd Athlon 64 Stepping

Well after a few annoyances with the DFI mobo, I just got everything running with my 2800, will pop the 3100 into the computer later today and see how it goes on stock cooling.

On a side note though, I'm quite pleased with the A64 2800 I got, for $57 I think I got a great chip.

FINALLY, got a chance to get it working.

Here are some pics:

Nice CPU.

Though how come it doesent say 3100+?

Sorry, but what does DTR means?

DTR means 'Desk Top Replacement.' I assume it doesn't say 3100 in the programs because, technically there is no such thing as a 3100 clawhammer.

Edit: It's not a great clocker though, seems to crap out around 2.2ghz with 1.65v.
