127.0.0.1

can someone tell me if an a7v supports athlon xp processors ? if it does how
big
thanks
 
I have a A7V8X-X and according to the user manual it supports Athlon, XP
up to 3200, and Duron. It supports up to 3GB of nonbuffered non ECC DDR
SDRAM memory PC3200, 2700, 2100, & 1600. The BIOS settings look like
they would allow me to run 400 MHz FSB but I haven't actually tried
doing that. I am using the board as a cheap replacement for a 2 year
old Soyo that died running a Thunderbird 1.3 and PC2100 memory. For
that purpose it was a completely painless plug and play install.

I have the same board and it detects my Palomino
XP1700+ without any problems. Only if I set to
LOWER multipliers than 11x it won't post at all.
Strange, if CPU is multiplier-locked?

Is Palomino really "overclocker's worst nightmare"
as it seems like? Regular lead pencil-trick won't
work (that did fine with Duron), neither does any
wire-trick even if some XP-overclocking sites do
have wiring-instructions for Palominos also.

So only possibility is to fill-up the holes between
L1-bridges with some non-conductive paste and then
connect the pins using silver-paint etc.? No other
problems with that than proportionally expensive
conductor that can't be found from any nearby
shops... Is this neighbourhood poor or what.
