These are highly overclocked cpus. You need some overclocking knowledge before
you attempt anything like I have done. If you do know about overclocking, here
is the CPU:

You can get a mobile 2500+ from newegg for $91, but it seems the IQZFA 2600+'s
do a slight bit better on average.

Another good thing about these chips is they've already got the L5 bridge
closed, which makes them SMP capable by default. All you have to do is
cut/connect the bridges to get the multiplier you want in a dual board (or set
the multiplier in the bios on a single cpu board), and there you go.

Like I mentioned before though, if you don't know what you're doing do not
bother. Especially for dual CPU setups. The new OPGA layouts and bridge
configuration make modification MUCH harder. You won't have to modify the CPU w/
a good single cpu board however.
