XP2200+ not at 1800MHz in A7A266 Motherboard
I originally posted this in alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus and received
some good feedback but still couldn't solve the problem. Any thoughts on how to get this CPU working properly in my mobo? Thanks for any input, Frank __________________________________________________ __________________ Gentlemen, I've tried a number of different combinations of DIP settings and found that in the BIOS, it is now reading a multiplier of 13. No matter what I changed, when the machine did start, WCPUID reported a multiplier of 20 and I am always reading between 2000 and 2020 MHz. I'm running version 1012 of the BIOS in my revision 1.04 ASUS A7A266 motherboard. Perhaps I'll wait until the final version of the BIOS comes along and I will retry. For now it's stable at this speed, and the chip was only $100 if I blow it. For now I'll run my XP 2200+ at 2020MHz. "Frank Pyatt" wrote in message ... Hello: I have an A7A266 updated with the latest BIOS of 1012. The motherboard revision is 1.04, and the ASUS website says that the revision 1.10 mobo will support up to an Athlon XP 2600+ (Model 8). I have read a couple of articles stating that the revision 1.04 mobo MAY support Athlon XPs, only that they haven't been tested by ASUS. Right now I'm using a Athlon 1.2GHz o/cd to 1.3GHz. Has anyone tried an Athlon XP chip in this revision of motherboard? Thanks for any help you may give. -- FRP frpyatt @ yahoo . ca |

If so, cut the L1 bridges.. It's that simple. Or you can follow instructions for 133MHz FSB in Multiplier Cross Reference in link below. It might work with your chipset. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.html |
