either P3 or Athlon(XP)... not sure on the RAM.... ill talk to you on Xfire

**jimmymac** · 10-18-2006, 10:08 PM

reckon thats AMD K7 duron or something....socket A, CPU is underneath the heatsink, the big silver block with a coolermaster fan on top

What is the model number?

That heatsync is identical to the OEM Athlon heatsyncs I had in the past. Also considering the chipset says "TBird" I feel pretty safe saying it's some SocketA Athlon or Duron. If that's the case, the RAM is probably PC133. I could say for sure if one was removed.
