Mobile Barton XP2500 configuration on A78N8X-E Deluxe
Hi all,
I have just installed a Mobile XP2500 Barton on a new A7N8X-E Deluxe. I have two questions on it's configuration being the first mobile processor I've set up: 1. Upon boot it shows an Mobile Athlon 800Mhz. In Windows XP Pro SP1A it displays as an Athlon 798Mhz Processor. I have checked the BIOS, and it set it up as 133FSBx14 which I work out as 1862Mhz which I guess is right for the CPU so I don;t understand why its coming up as 800Mhz in the Boot screen and in Windows My Computer. 2. Secondly, the voltage for this CPU as I understand it is supposed to be 1.45v, but the Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe has awarded it 1.575v. have checked in the BIOS to lower it manually to 1.45v but that volatge isn't displayed, the lowest available is 1.575v. Can someone please offer some advice on how to get the CPU to configure correctly? I want to see it running at its default speed before trying to overclock it. Many thanks. Graham. |

Sounds to me like you might need a BIOS update to specifically support
Mobile processors ( http://usa.asus.com/support/download...N8X-E%20Deluxe ). Sometimes a change like that requires some minor BIOS adjustments. Jim "The Old Man" wrote in message ...

Jim Thanks Jim, I took alook at it offers BIOS v1010: "Modify System Performance set "User Defined", Memory Timing always set "Optimal"" I have v1008 as supplied with the Board. I'll download it and give it a try. Regards, Graham |

I changed it to 166x11 and the BIOS now shows "Unknown CPU Type 1833Mhz" which is the correct speed. Apparently this is all in order and the CPU is now running at normal desktop XP2500 speed.
