KG7 and cempron 2200
I have an old KG7 that had an AMD 1800 that ran fine for several
years. I am trying to get a cempron 2200 running in it with no luck. I tried several settings in the soft menu but get no farther than the XP logo screen. Is there any any way this board can run this CPU or should I just go back to the old 1800? Is so what settings can I use in the soft menu? Thanks, Brian in MI |

Is so what settings can I use in the soft menu? The Semprons require a 166MHz FSB to run at default speeds and the KG7 only does 133. That means the Sempron 2200+ will run at 9x133.33 or 1200MHz in your old board. Even if your board did do 166MHz, the Sempron 2200+'s default speed is 9x166.66 or 1500MHz, while your 1800+ XP is 11.5x133.33 for 1533MHz. BTW, if you are getting to the Windows XP logo screen, the cpu IS running and booting the OS. In the end, you are better off with your old 1800+. And if you happen to have a Tbred B core 1800+, you can clock it up to about 2400MHz. If it's an older Palomino core, close the L1 bridges and then change the multiplier to 12.5, etc., etc, etc. Post the part number stepping code and date code off the cpu and we can tell you what you have. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |

Thanks for the reply! I will give you the specs off the old 1800 before I
put it back in. Brian "Wes Newell" wrote in message news:ld5vh.359$Pw3.83@trnddc01...

Here are the numbers I got off the heat sink. Good thing I had a magnifying
glass! Thanks again. Brian AMD1800DMS3C AGNGA0203SPDW Y7593040098 1999 AMD "Wes Newell" wrote in message news:ld5vh.359$Pw3.83@trnddc01...

Thanks Wes,
I am going to pop it back in today and see if I can crank it up faster than I had it before. I am also putting on a new heatsink and fan so combined with that and new paste it should run cooler. I'll let you know. Brian "Wes Newell" wrote in message news:7%gvh.2604$RJ4.968@trnddc08...

Well I might have screwed up even more messing with changing CPU's! I
put the 1800 back in and no boot no video. I am not sure what could have happened but I got nothing. I put the ceptron back in with 9x166 and it booted but still hang at the windows users screen. Maybe I should go to ebay and find someone to trade CPUs with LOL. Should I play around with the 1800 anymore or just assume it's dead? Thanks again for the help. Brian Palomino core Athlon MP 1800+.

As for why windows hangs, I couldn't say, I don't do windows. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |

Wes,
I put the 1800 in another MB which is bad just to see if the 1800 would work. Left heatsink off and fired it up and it almost burned my finger in like 3 seconds. Turned off the juice right away and put another coat of paste and put it back in the abit and it fired up! Can't figure out what happened the other time? Currently running as a 1900. Thanks for all the help. This will close this thread out. Brian "Wes Newell" wrote in message news:zGBvh.2706$eH.2588@trnddc05...
