[KLUG Members] Difference Between Athlon and Athlon Thunderbird

[jeff]

"athlon 4" is palamino.... a rather different core from the
thunderbird...... t-birds are available 700-1400 on 100 and 133 mhz
busses.... that however is the EV6 bus protocol which is DDR... hence the
200 and 266 numbers..... but the FSB clock gen. is NOT running at 200 or
266... the signalling rate is not 200 or 266...... it is just DDR....... i
think thats about all i have to add right off the top of my head....
