I have an asus a7v with a 1000mhz thunderbird athlon. My bios update
allows up to a 1.8 gig processor. Will the a7v support xp processors
like the xp 2500 other than the lower front side bus (200 mhz versus
the 333 the chip [email protected]
 
Then its true. lurkers in newsgroups lack the basic interpersonal
skills to treat others with respect, and attack without reason or
purpose. If you can't answer the question turd then just shut the ****

LOL, take your own advice and STFU, since I DID ask a question, and
you obviously are the only one lacking interpersonal skills.

As for reason, like I said, it has been asked AND ANSWERED thousands
of times, it is not my fault you can't figure out how to use Google to
find answers BEFORE you post.
 
Ok lets try this one more time.First of all i don't spend all my free
time in this ng so how would i know how many times the question has
been asked and answered? As far as i can tell the booard is an a7v
(The first of that series). If i was aware of how to use google to
find the answer why would i submitmyself to the abuse of rude
individuals like yourself. Lastly i am always as civil to people as
they are to me when someones opening response is as smartmouth as your
was i'm not likely to respond politely.As i said if you don't want to
or can't aswer a question what purpose is served by dumping on
someone you don't know, and who hasn't been rude to you?..On Thu, 31
 
If you have an original A7V (KT133 Chipset, not KT133A), the chip will
only support up to 1.4 GHz (with a 200 FSB Athlon). If you run a
faster chip, you would be limited by the FSB (which might be
overclocked a little, but not nearly to 133). If you want to use a
Barton Chip on either the A7V or A7V133, I believe it is theoretically
possible, but not at the right speed unless you had a socket adapter.
I've only seen one that works on a SocketA chip and it was reviewed
very recently on Tom's Hardware. It looks like a good way to do a
cheap upgrade (sorta like the old Overdrive, Powerleap and EverGreen
processors). It allows you to maintain the 200FSB while ratcheting up
the Multiplier to run the chip at a speed that is relatively close, if
not identical, to the intended speed. The units (with a HSF) are about
$40 and a 2500+ Barton can be found for just under $100. Not too bad.

Good Luck,

You can basically do the same thing by putting wire in the socket to
change the multiplier of the CPU.

I'm currently running a XP2100+/B@ 2017mhz, vcore 1.65,Volcano11with a
manual control smart fan. The classic A7V mb doesn't really see this cpu
correctly. It will boot up at 1600mhz, but with wcpuid it will report the
real cpu speed as 2017mhz or somewhere near that speed. My biggest issue was
heat. I replaced the case fans with smart fans (manual fan control knob) and
upgraded heat sink and fan as mentioned. My temps max out about 52c with a
load.

This is a good forum which is dedicated to the A7V
