Strategy

The Athlon XP 1700+ is based on a 1466-MHz Palomino core. Oddly enough, AMD has never officially released an MP 1700+ processor, skipping this speed grade in its production schedule. Despite the marketing glitch, this processor offers decent overclocking potential. Most 1466-MHz units are scalable beyond 1600 MHz with quality cooling and a slight bump in core voltage.
