It depends really. If your mobo can support the low voltage needed then yes.
I think the 'Applebred' Durons may require a lower core voltage than the
Morgans. What does the Morgan run as default vcore?

I think it is 1.6volts.The new Bios upgrade I did gives be a good range to
play with.

I'm not familliar with that board. Does it support Athlons? The new Durons
are just a cut-down version of the XP Athlon T'bred B. Of course you could
always try it and see. If it doesn't work then you need a new mobo.

My Morgan core Duron 1100 has nominal Vcore of 1.5v. After doing
a quick search I found that nominal Vcore on 'applebred' 1.6GHz
Durons is also 1.5v. The new Durons are apparently a budget take
on the Athlon Thoroughbred 'B' die, but with FSB limited to 266MHz
and only 64kB on-chip L2 cache. A couple of benchmarks sites show
the new Durons to perform well, almost matching the Athlon XP at
the same clock speed (note CLOCK speed, not 1800+ or 2000+ rating)

Kind regards,

Chris Wilkinson, Christchurch.

From what I gather the rest of the L2 cache is present, just disabled. In
some cases it's faulty but in others it can be re-enabled if you join a few
traces on the top of the CPU. I've heard something like 50%+ of these CPUs
can have 256KB af cache re-enabled and running fine, others, another 25% or
so, can have another 128KB enabled for 192KB all-up.

It has been speculated that a good percentage are deliberately downgraded XP
Athlons, produced to fit a niche market.

Got a 1700XP running at 1387.5.Has anyone cut the 5th L3 bridge on one of
these to unlock higher mutiplier?

How / why is it running at that speed? The 1700XP has got an 11 multiplier, for
1463MHz on 133MHz FSB or 1100MHz on 100MHz FSB. I don't know how you've got
1387. Do you have an 2200XP on 100MHz FSB?

I have what was an XP 1800+ T'bred B with an 11.5 multiplier. I cut the 3rd
and 5th L2 bridges (from memory) and it's now a default multiplier of 13.5
or an XP 2200+. Same vcore as my board has no adjustments for multiplier or
vcore.

Runs sweet as a nut.

He(she) may be running an unusual FSB...about 126 by my calculations. I
can't think why though.
Or a multiplier of about 10.5 @ 133FSB gets you close as well.
