Hi,
I assume you mean A7V333. I have this board as well. On the website you can see info on BIOS revisions and CPU support. From the website, Athlon XP 3000+(333 MHZ FSB)(Model 10)(Barton) is supported since BIOS revision 1016: http://www.asus.com.tw/support/cpusu...pusupport.aspx HTH -- "Jonh Hellingsworth" wrote in message news Hello I have a Asus A7333 Motherboard Athlon XP 2500 512mb PC 2700 333DR mem MSI FX 5600 graphics card I'm keeping the Asus A7333, and upgrading to Athlon XP 3000 1gb PC 2700 333 DDR PNY FX 5950 Ultra 256mb My current system is running on bios 1017 Do I need to cahange the bios setting to accomodate the XP 3000?

As someone who has two earlier revisions, I note that stability improved with 1.04 but particularly 2.0 with higher speed Bartons. Although earlier revisions than 2.0 "appear" from their chart to not support 166MHz (DDR333) FSB CPUs, the issues is larger than that, as my 1.01 board had been running a T'Bred B @ 166MHz FSB & Mem since day 1, but wasn't stable enough with a Barton at same FSB speed even at same total frequency & voltage. I like A7V333, but frankly I'd upgrade the motherboard before upgrading an XP2500 to an XP3000. Although, I wouldn't buy another socket A for just that small of a CPU upgrade, not cost effective. Also consider that some users report bios v. 1016 more stable than 1017. At worst it might not report the AMD nomenclature in "XP(nnnn)" speed, instead just displaying MHz, though I expect even bios 1016 does include the XP(nnnn) ID, which is part of the significance of it supporting the CPUs, as that was AMD's goal, to display CPU name in bios instead of frequency. |
