Strategy

While not quite as popular as its 1200 MHz sibling, the Athlon Thunderbird 1300 MHz processor does offer a near guarantee of 1400 MHz. Most models will reach this level with nothing more than the factory AMD heatsink cooler and a modest bump in core voltage. As with the 1200, motherboards offering 133-MHz processor bus support will perform best when overclocked.
