Badams66 Posted August 3, 2003 Posted August 3, 2003 My friend is trying to sell me a cpu but when i asked him what kind it was, he said an AMD Athlon ATX...? He also said that its stock speed is 900mhz! Has anyone ever heard of this processor or did he give me the wrong name for it?

Propane Posted August 3, 2003 Posted August 3, 2003 He probably ment AMD athalon thunderbird and it fits on an ATX mobo? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted August 3, 2003 Posted August 3, 2003 i would say its just an amd 900mhz proc and the motherboard form factor is atx lol  does your buddy know much about comps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Propane Posted August 3, 2003 Posted August 3, 2003 just go to newegg and search for socket a mobos - there sorted by price and then you can decide what "good" means Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newb_ocer Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 Syc its prolly the programming part and such that he doesnt understand. But Atx is a type of Case i thought? not a name for a Cpu? Maybe the mobo you use fits in a atx case? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badams66 Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 thats hard to imagine...i mean...what? he knows where to plug all the stuff into but after that he's lost? lol, i mean, he knows everything that i know (i taught him almost everything i know, the his dad taught him the rest, then he went and got a job....where i struggle to get a job with computers ), hell, you could point to something inside a comptuer and he could name it with his eyes closed....thats why i don't understand why he said Athlon ATX <_< But yes, after that, hes pretty much lost!
