Hi,

I am currently running a A7V133 board and I would like to get a bit more
power out of it.
According to the WWW site if I upgrade to 1009 bios it will support upto
XP2100 processor.
I cannot source a 2100 processor, I can get 2200 processor. Will this be OK
instead providing
I configure somehow as 2100 processor in the bios instead ?

Thanks
C

Of course you can run XP2200+, no need to underclock.
I run mine A7V133 rev."1.05" bios 1010.01b (beta) for couple of months w/
Athlon XP Thoroughbred-B 2200+ @2GHz

How did you get the high multipliers? I can't get mine past 13.

I set 12.5x on board but it's the cpu that remaps it to 20.0x. Usually
AthlonXP do it like this example: 7.0x set on board + 8 from cpu = gives
15.0x multiplier, but there are some exceptions from this. Search the Net
for more as I don't have whole table right now.

How about this:

The update about the date code is interesting.

I am running 2100+ in a jumperfree mode.
My WCPUID shows exactly the same setting as DraconuS.
9.0x (17x) is the only multiplier I can boot in the jumpered mode, but it is
not stable.

That setting needs 1.8 vcore and good cooling. It works on some boards and
not others.

Jumper-free mode will have a greater success rate with the 2100+. This
gives 20*100 but should work with default voltage and therefore run
cooler.

Good luck,
Tom

Exactly. I am sticking to jumperfree mode for now.
Will upgrade to a nForce2 MB eventually.

Have not meet any locked TBred before... mine is also factory unlocked.

I tried 17x133 w/1.85Vcore so it was running stable, but after benchmarking
I decided to go back to 20x100 as the performance gain was veeeery little
and I like things working cooler and with lower voltage.
In jumper mode you can use more multipliers with 100fsb than with 133fsb
actually.
