What Processor to buy?
First, I am new to AMD products.
I have a 244759-002 Compaq motherboard. No processor. I check with the tech at hp/compaq and they said only a Athlon XP 1700+ (Socket 462 aka Socket A) cpu would work. I would like to know is this correct? And if not I would like to know what processors world work and what speed without overclocking. Also, could a Athlon Sempron 2400+ work? |

Even though it might work, it'd be slow as hell because it requires a 166MHz FSB and your board will probably only do 133MHz. Try and ID the actual board maker/model. Short of that, at least what chipset it uses. If it'll run a 1700+, then it should run any /266 model all the way up to a 2800+ MP. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php |
