Hi all, I have an old system with:
VIA KT133 Motherboard AMD Athlon XP 1600+ Processor 256MB 133Mhz SDRAM now, my motherboard died so I have to buy a new one. I want it based on VIA KT400 chipset, can I leave my old 1600+ Athlon, and use it with the new mobo? I really wouldn't want to by a new processor right now, but upgrade it later when I have the money. SDRAM won't work, you'll need DDR SDRAM. Processor should work fine with the KT400 chipset. For example the Asus A7V8X will support the 1600XP as long as BIOS 1003 or newer is installed. -- Regards, Tony.

Use the pulldown menus to select Athlon 1600+ You will get a long list of boards that support the processor. Paul "Tone-EQ" wrote in message ...

It's 400 MHz DDR, but only 333 MHz FSB * 1600+ Athlon will work. * SDRAM will NOT work anymo There are no KT400 SDRAM Boards. -- "Yeah, well, I'm gonna go build my own theme park with blackjack and hookers!" --- Bender, Futurama (S01E02) http://www.Stum.de |
