Fastest AMD for Via KT266A
"Piotr Makley" wrote in message
... I am running a Duron in a Syntax mobo with a Via KT266A chipset. http://tinyurl.com/yt2an I want to upgrade to an Athlon but the vendor site has no info on the fastest cpu I can run. Am I limited to Palomino's? --- I have the SV266a mobo running a AMD 2400+ (Thorton core) Regards Tim |

... Did you have to upgrade the BIOS? My Award BIOS is dated "02/07/2003" and has this reference after the date: VT8367-8235-6A6LVE1HC-00 --- Also, what is the rating of your power supply? I don't think that the BIOS needed to be updated, but I did anyway, just to be on the safe side. The latest version being 09/17/2003. http://64.168.125.230/support/syntax.../2003-0917.zip I have a 350W PSU, However I have another SV266a running a Duron 1800 using a 250W PSU, if thats anything to go by. Regards, Tim. |

Regards, Tim. A Duron 1800 runs really well in this board. I have 3 of these setups. Don't forget that this processor runs at a full 1800 mhz., which is the equivalent of an Athlon XP 2400 and almost as fast. It's a great choice budget processor. |

As you also have the same mobo (version 1.0) then can I ask you the same question I asked him: Did you have to upgrade the BIOS? My Award BIOS is dated "02/07/2003" and has this reference after the date: VT8367-8235-6A6LVE1HC-00 --- Also, what is the rating of your power supply? My BIOS is the same. PSU is 250W. |
