Totally confussed - A7V333
The motherboard I was using on my second box got fried in a thunderstorm
last week and a mate has given my an Asus A7V333 that he had spare as a replacement. It's got rev 1.04 etched on the board, other than that I haven't a clue what BIOS version or anything as I haven't installed it yet. I'd like to upgrade my CPU as it's just a plane Athlon 1 GHz but I haven't a clue what this board will support. The Asus support website seems to think that a Athlon XP 2600+(266FSB)(Model 8)(Thoroughbred) is supported on board ver 1.01 with BIOS 1012. However I can't find any of these CPU's... All I can seem to find are AMD ATHLON XP2600+ 333MHZ FSB 256Cache - Thoroughbred CPU (http://makeashorterlink.com/?E2C162CB8). Can anyone tell me if this will work with this motherboard or not...?

In that case I can see that there are two different cores I could use, Thoroughbred and Thornton. What's the difference...? I can get hold of the AthlonXP 2400+ in either quite easily.

IIRC, Thortons have less L2 cache. T-bred - 256K L2 Barton 512 L2 Thorton - ? 128 or 64K L2 ? I believe ThorTon (ThoroughbredBarton) has 256KB L2. It is a Barton crippled so that it resembles a T-bred. |
