Help - A7M266 and Athlon XP 2100 problem
Hi Guys.
I downloaded bios 1007, and I just bought an athlon XP 2100 (i think its Thoroughbred version), i had a 1400 before which worked fine and simply changed the chips over. Unfortunately, the system doesnt even show the bios anymore with the 2100 inside. It doesnt boot at all to anything, just shows blank screen. 1. What can I do? I thought the 2100 XP works with this motherboard. Can i still make it work by doing something to the voltage/jumpers. Anything to just get back in my machine will help me much. 2. Also, the company i bought will not change it to palomino. Should i get a refund and buy a better chip? What is the best chip I can buy for this motherboard, without the risk of it not working? p.s i dont really like to move jumpers etc. unless i have to. I prefer the easy life Thanks |

Get your money back and put the old cpu back in. You need the
palomino 2100 and they aren't available unless you find one hiding in the shadows somewhere. ================================================== ASUS P4T533 mobo Intel P4 2.8 GHz 533MHz ASUS V8460 Ultra GeForce 4 Ti 4600 1024 Samsung 32-Bit RIMM 4200 1066MHz RAMBUS RD1-8X Bios Savior Enermax EG465P-VE FMA 430W PSU Creative Labs Audigy 2 Sony DRU-500AX DVD+-RW TDK VeloCD 48X16X48X CD-RW TOSHIBA SD-M1612 DVD Seagate 80GB 7200RPM Seagate 120GB 7200RPM WD 60GB 5400RPM WD 40GB 5400RPM Promise ULTRA 133 TX2 Controller Dlink DFE530TX+ PCI nic Motorola Surfboard SB3100 cable modem Linksys BEFSR41 router Windows XP Home SP1 Direct X 9.0 |

Both still going strong. I also have two, one with a 1.33 and the one I use 2100+ both bought long ago and both working great. No plans for about another year for the next upgrade. -- -- Tip www.gotips.net New gaming site, check it out at: http://www.gamemecca.net/ |
