K7S5A and XP2400+ PC133

Hi,

I currently have xp1600+ and 760Mb of PC133 RAM sitting on my K7S5A
rev1 board. I am after a cheap upgrade to XP2400+ or XP2600+. I can
get both CPUs in 266Mhz flavour. Is my mainboard(with latest bios)
going to run ok with XP2600+ and PC133 RAM. Is anyone here running
PC133 with these CPUs. I have 500W PSU, and a lot of cooling fans.

Thanks!

Either of the CPUs should be fine on this board with a recent BIOS and your
big PSU. You will need a Palomino or Thorobred PSU, running as you say at
266mhz.

Hi snajper,
on the ver 3.1 it works fine when the BIOS is not too old, for the ver 1.1
you search the ECS archives below
http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWeb/Downloa...uID=45&LanID=0
i've upgraded some puters with those processors.
In the BIOSsetup during the startup you can adjust the processor- and
memoryspeed to 133 each,
success Jan

No problems with my 2400+ cpu and 760 mb of pc133...
