Athlon XP Barton 2500 shows XP1700
K7S5A Pro - ECS Mainboard
Brand new retail (from Newegg) Athlon XP 2500 Barton I think but not sure... Bios shows XP1700 FSB is set to 133/133 cannot increase the FSB to 166/166 board supports 200/266 is this why I do not see the CPU correctly? I'm not sure the board supports manual overrides I have already checked, and have the most recent BIOS version. Thoughts / Ideas - Upgrade Mobo? |

Hi BubbaPrime,
Yeah, that is the reason, the FSB has to be 166 for the bios to read 2500. I just installed my own and that is what mine was set to. |

I've heard there is a way to run the FSB at 166Mhz. But if I were you, I'd just order a K7S8XE-R3 or K7S8XE+. Both are sis748 based so conversion won't be much of an OS problem. Plus, they're great boards (under $60). Another problem will be that you'll need new ram though. If your new 2500+ isn't locked, you could use the pin mod to change the multiplier from 11 to 15 or 16 and run it at 133MHz FSB still. CPU date code needs to be 0338 or earlier for unlocked. Many options anyway. Good luck. http://www.ocinside.de/go_e.html?/ht...md_pinmod.html -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.html |

I had the same motherboard and processor,
This is what you need to go do, go into the system bios set to CPU PnP to 133/133 This being what you said u already did Fryes (Right) might have sold u a bad processor. They honor the warranty for 1 year so show them your receipt and get your processor (And board if they'll do it since it might be a bad board, I've had a couple bad boards from Elitegroup). WAIT A SEC, I just realized it's a Bartons Chip, The Bartons don't work with EliteGRoup MB's so if it is an Elitegroup ditch it and go with a gigabyte. Works like a champ for me!
