I have a MSI board that I just updated the bios on. Its got an Duron 1GHz CPU on board. It says it'll now take a Athalon 2400+. Well I can't find any 2400+ anywhere, or at least not in my price range. I can't see spending $140 for a old CPU. Anyway can I put a faster Socket A cpu in this board and run it at 2400. There just dosen't seem to be a lot of places I can ask this question. |

There just dosen't seem to be a lot of places I can ask this question. Well, looks like you'll be limted to a 133MHz fsb, but if you use an unlocked cpu, you can set the multiplier as high as 24x, so the max actual speed the board will support is 24x133. You can do the math. The problem is you aren't going to find a cheap socket A cpu that will work well unless you get awfully lucky. At this time, you'd be much better off buying a new socket 754 or 939 cpu/board combo and selling your old stuff on ebay. Frye's had a Socket 754 MB and Sempron 2600+ on sale a few weeks ago for about $75. I've also seen A64 3000+ cpu/mb combos on sale there for about $100. Use your current system til you see something good on sale and then jump on it. I think that's the best advice I can give you. -- 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 |

I don't really want a sempron but if I can't get the athalon I'll take a sempron. There is no way on gods green earth I'll update to a sempron. I'd go with the fastest I can get. When I got this board it was the fastest at the time. My mobo is socket A. All I want to do is upgrade it to a higher proc. this computer is just a kick around machine. For my main machine I've got a 3GHz machine. |
