Fastest processor in an Abit KT7A motherboard
One of my other rigs has an Abit KT7A motherboard and 1.2GHz Thunderbird in
it (133MHz FSB). According to the manufacturer, you can only put processors up to 1.4GHz in it, but I'm wondering whether it'll take any more recent chips. Does anybody know what I can put in it? Also, does anybody know of a chip that I can be sure to be able to buy mail order and be able to change the multiplier since I'm going to have to lower the FSB to get it to work in that board? Thanks. Alun Harford |

Install the latest Bio update "A9" then you can upgrade to the Athlon 2400+
set multiplier to 15x133=2gig. Terry "Alun Harford" wrote in message ... One of my other rigs has an Abit KT7A motherboard and 1.2GHz Thunderbird in it (133MHz FSB).

According to the manufacturer, you can only put processors up to 1.4GHz in it, but I'm wondering whether it'll take any more recent chips. Does anybody know what I can put in it? Your board with official 133MHz FSB will support a 24x133=3200MHz CPU. Higher if you overclock the FSB. Also, does anybody know of a chip that I can be sure to be able to buy mail order and be able to change the multiplier since I'm going to have to lower the FSB to get it to work in that board? Thanks. Might want to verify this, but I think all MP's are unlocked. All MP's also use a 133MHz SFB, so you wouldn't have to lower the multiplier. You have many choices for cpu's. Just a few; 2400+, locked or unlocked. 2600+/266, ditto. 2800+ MP, locked or unlocked. If the multiplier is not internally locked then you can use any you want. See link below for details. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |
