Athlon XP and KT7A probs

[John Fitzpatrick]

I bought a version 8 AthlonXP 1800+ processor after the last one (ver 6) stopped working. I have a KT7A v1.3 board which used to auto detect the old chip but not the new one. I have sinced found out that I have to flash to bios in order to make the new chip recognisable. But I don't know which flash version to download, could anyone help me out please.

Thanks
John

I have the same v1.3 board and use the latest bios. It is KT7SB4.exe, you may download it from here: http://fae.abit.com.tw/eng/download/bios/kt7s.htm In this self extracting file you also find the flash tool and the instructions.

With this bios my athlon xp 2400+ tbred runs without any problem.
