nForce 2 and AMD Barton
Hi,
I have a new Chaintech 7NIF2 motherboard that uses the nVidia nForce2 chipset. I also have an AMD Barton 2500XP 333 CPU. Can anyone tell me if this board will handle this CPU? Do you need a motherboard with a special chipset to handle the new Barton CPUs? When I put this CPU on the board I can't boot. When I put a regular ol' Athlon 1333 (133 bus) it boots just fine. Can I use this CPU on this board? Thanks in advance, Keith |

Reread the manual with regard to BIOS and jumper settings for the 166MHz Bartons. I'd agree. Do you have a way to check that the CPU isn't dead? |
