Comment: I recently bought a computer that was supposed to be an Athlon 2000, but when I check my system info it says it's running at 1666 mhz. Is this normal or did I in fact buy an Athlon 1600? Was I ripped off?
Please help! get back to me at pcyr@cogeco.ca as I have no idea how I got to this page in the first place!

Reply: (edit)A 2000+ runs at 1.67 MHZ. The 2000 means that it is running as well as other cpu's that are 2000 MHZ.

Reply: (edit)It is the correct speed. Your machine runs at between the speed of a Pentium 4 2.0 ghz and 2.1 ghz(400mhz FSB, not the newer 533mhz). Athlons out perform Pentiums on a mhz rating. But Athlons are at their peak of design at a lower mhz rating due to the different way they work. I have an Athlon 2000XP and I'm very happy with it!

Reply: (edit)AMD chips are named after the speed of the intel models, which AMD claim to beat.

Reply: (edit)Yes I have an Athlon XP 2100+ runs at 1.73ghz ( not overclocked ) and it outperforms a P4 2.6ghz, so believe me even they are clocked lower in MHZ they are extremely fast, and when it comes to gaming you can't get better
