Ok I am looking to upgrade my older system, when I got this MB
the box had a sticker that said 133/266 at the time I guessed it was a revised version of the board that supported both fsb speeds.
I would like to put a Amd XP 2100+ Tbird but it says the
A7V133 is for a Athlon XP 2100+Model 6(Palomino) not the
T-bird?? However the A7V266 does support the t-bird chip...
Is there a pin configuration that seperates these 2 cpus or can I safely try to install this on this MB?
Just reading over the board specs I think this is all a mute point as the only memory this board supports is sdram 133 max.
So even if I installed a cpu that ran at 266 I would still be slowed down by the memory....dang!
The CPUs differ in BIOS support and electrical properties. I'd trust the vendor when they say no T-Breds.
Besides, the CPU you have in there now has also been slowed down by the PC133 (133 MHz SDR) RAM, since the CPU bus on an Athlon/Duron is at least 100 MHz DDR. This your concern is moot.
Mmm
Linear Mode
