Strategy

Both the Athlon MP and XP 1900+ are built on a 1600-MHz Palomino processing core. The Athlon 1900+ offers modest scalability. Most units post overclocking returns approaching, and sometimes exceeding, 1700 MHz. Cooling is a definite concern when pushing into that frequency range. Use only a quality cooler when increasing the core voltage.
