DO NOT consider overclockwarehouse!!! I would tell you my horror story, but I am sick of talking about it. Go to Resellerratings.com and read what people have been saying about them.
I feel that it is more than worth your time to just make a chance purchase on a uncertified chip, and if you have poor results, sell the chip on ebay and get another one.
If you are considering a t-bird and are able to look at the "codes" (like at a computer show), you can check the recent articles at overclockers.com on which ones are reporting good results.

thanx man i just might do that but i really want a kick ass chip. i see everyone talking about it and the most i can get from mine is 100mhz more.

PCNut is a lil pricey but you get what you pay for.

spyizme · 03-17-2001, 02:08 PM

thanx, i have heard good things from pcnut but i never bought from them.

Joe · 03-17-2001, 02:18 PM

I just bought a 1.2Ghz Tbird @1.4Ghz with a KT7A-RAID for under 500$ from PCNut

spyizme · 03-18-2001, 02:09 PM

did the mobo have a volt mod.

and how about outside loop are they good.

Joe · 03-18-2001, 03:24 PM

Nope no volt mod, stock voltage at 1.4Ghz ( its a AXIA Core tbird

spyizme · 03-19-2001, 03:13 PM

axia core what is that?

Joe · 03-19-2001, 04:13 PM

AXIA core is the new high end rev core that seems to be lurking. they are said to be run off from the 1.3Ghz Tbirds adn most are able to get to 1.5Ghz without much trouble.

I got my mobo, HD and DVD from Outside Loop. It all arrived promptly, and was exactly as described. IMHO they're a good company to deal with. You may be able to save a few dollars by going elsewhere, but then you wouldn't get the service.

[I'm not affiliated in any way with Outside Loop, just a satisfied customer]
