Default 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

Shouldnt be a problem at all. 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?
