    Is there a way of checking its a barton? just that a mate ordered his and its green so i thorght it was a lil strange and wondered if they had sent the wrong chip e.g Thoroughbred chip.

    My Barton 3000+ is brown; It was purchased in a retail box. I also got a 2500+, OEM. This was green. I do beleive that the OEM CPUs are Green, and the Retail ones are brown.

    My green XP3200+ was BOX, I also saw a green Barton XP2500+ which was also the BOX version at my PC store.



    Cheers,
    Mike

    P.S.
    My GREEN XP-M2500+ was OEM

    I heard that the colour depends on which factory they were made. One in Dresden + the other somewhere else. Malaysia maybe?

    That doesnt work; both the green and the brown processors that I own/ed were made in malaysia.

    Maybe Zapwizard can clear this up for us all? :)

    Malaysia = brown
    Dresden, Germany = green

    that is certainly the case on the Athlon XP.

    Then why did my Athlon XP 2500+ say Made in Malaysia on it? It was green too. Something doesnt work here. :confused:

    Perhaps it has to do with whether the cpus are unlocked or not? :eyebrow: :confused: (can someone confirm this or have everyone with these chips tell us whether they're unlocked and their color) Just my 3 cents.
