Yes, I have had Dothan with a bus for some time now.
I have requested permission to post an image of my devel board, I am under NDA. I will not be able to post benchmarks.

Devel board... nevar heard of one.
FUGGER didnt know you still got the Dothan... how many setups you got :D
Developer board.
I have too much to get to, I had hoped to get the 570J fired up on the DFI 925XE today to take down the super pi record.

DDR2 SODIMM 533
PCIexpress
Socket 479
Check out the clearance around the CPU socket :D
Board name and model to be announced later w/ specs. Memory may type may change as well. More memory slots available on the back of the board.
Weird looking board, not seen one of them like that before. I like the flat design of the ram slots and how they are fitted in there.
Is it me or do you have a shed load of Centon memory. IIRC, the server for this place has 2gb's of Centon mem in it and so does your P4 rig by the looks of your sig. Nevar really took intrest to Centon mem tbh. Always looked at Gskill and OCZ TCCD and the usualy tight timmings stuff ;)
I see the 4 mounting screws around your Dothan :D
Good luck if you do try to take down the Super PI record :toast:
Centon was able to provide the special build ram for me. I asked other companies for samples as well but Centon was able to pull it off in time.
Gets worse, my other board coming up for exposure is also loaded with Centon DDR2
oh great, now I have another board to look forward to and torture me till my next setup! :eek:
Thanx for the inside look Fugger. Can't wait to make a little dothan setup!
hmm, sodimms on a desktop board, i'll pass. i think that the company that you are testing for should put dimms for a cheapter tco, and larger compatibility as well dimms having MUCH faster speeds (fastest dimm is pc4800, stock, fastest sodimm i've seen is pc3200 stock). this seems like a downgrade because space isnt really at a premium here
I was looking at some PM specs and wondered if there's something special with the 730?
Edit: All the other 7x0/533/C0 revision have SL7xx sSpec.
The 730 is unique with having SL8xx. :confused:
Any ideas?
Does a 7x0 overclock better?
the SL6xx have 1MB L2 cache banias core only 400 BusSpeed
the SL7xx have 2MB L2 cache dothan core both 400 & 533 BusSpeed
Dunno what's with the SL8xx
Maybe you buy one and tell us :D
Yeah I was wrong about that.
PM:
SL6xx = 130 nm, 1 MB, 400 MHz, stepping 5, revision B1
SL7xx = 90 nm, 2 MB, 400 MHz, stepping 6, revision B1 (7x5) - except for
SL7Sx = 90 nm, 2 MB, 533 MHz, stepping 8, revision C0 (7x0)
SL86x = 90 nm, 2 MB, 533 MHz, stepping 8, revision C0 (730)
CM is not available with the latest C0 revision
what is CM?
CM = Celeron MQuote:

Well the Celeron M might be more difficult to overclock due to the lack of speed-step (the multipliers are not unlocked down to 6x) so you're stuck with just one multiplier.Quote:

But what can I do I'm a cheapo. :p:
The Dothan core Celeron Ms do have Speedstep. Only the Baniases don't.
Is that the case with the Dothan Celeron Ms?Quote:

From what I understand, yes; I read a post on another forum a while back where the guy was running a Dothan Celeron M. I have a boxed 350 that's been waiting for a home for a while, but I guess I'm going to wait for a 915 board. At any rate, with our current boards, I don't think we'd have to worry about moving the multi downward. We'll be FSB limited before the chip's clockspeed max is reached.
hmm, mobile dothans should oc well, less transisstors to mess around with, but 512k of cashe is as much as northwoods had. i think 512k of cashe chips may be better performance/$ and oc just as well.
I tested with Celeron M on the Aopen board, and I was not able to change the mp. Speedstep worked but changing the mp did not work then. That was with the 105 bios.
But that really doesnt matter since the default mp is so low anyway i was not able to max out the chip, because the motherboard ran out of steam. But 150 x 14 gave decent results.
With the Celly M I also lost the possibility to change vcore, was stuck at default (1,25 V, if my teflon brain works properly).
less cache = lower performance/better ocQuote:

And I got a replacement processor, a 1.5ghz banias which clocks up to 2375 happily at stock voltage but anything above that and it isn't even prime stable for a few seconds. Which probably means its not prime stable at 2375 either
I've put the VID mod wire in the socket and now I have a new problem; the heat shoots up with the cooler I've got fitted, which is an Alpha 8942 with some of the shims removed. I guess there's too much TIM right now between the core and the HSF since the core isn't imprinted into the copper like most of my athlons used to do.
Still, a neat system, the clockgen PCI/AGP lock is a godsend as is eist. Although I'm stuck until I fix this heatsink to sit a bit lower since it current either resets or hangs if I try to get it up to 2.4
btw, the dothan celeron M chips have 1 meg of L2 cache, the banias ones have 512, that doesn't seem to be too clear in this thread yet
well, we know that dothan ocs way better than bainas, so i'd like to see somebody post results of ocing a dothan core celeron m. should be interesting because 1mb of cashe is still pretty dammn good
any pics of the cracked core ?Quote:

after looking at ebay, will the 533fsb dothan's work on the current aopen and dfi boards available?
