Max CPU speed for KG7 Lite?

Gary & Adrian West · Jul 27, 2003

I'm running an Athlon XP 1500+ on my KG7 Lite. I'm considering an upgrade in the next 6 months or so as my current system is now 18 months old. However this time I don't want to upgrade the whole system. I plan to upgrade just the CPU and the graphics card.

The motherboard manual does not stipulate the maximum CPU clock speed that it will accept. I presume I'll be limited to processors running on the same bus speed. Can anybody tell me what the maximum will be? I want to start planning now while these CPUs are still available.

Thanks.

I'll jump in here and tell you it is the latest bios update for the board. You will need to get it from the abit website.

Hi desklamp

Did you happen to try the board with any lesser bios in there? I'm running the 9M bios because the DM was giving me some instabilty even with cpu control settings adjusted. I'm running a 2100 palomino in there now. I have a 2400 tbred in a gigabyte board but I thought I would ask before I tore both of them apart to experiment. Mine is the plain vanilla KG7 (non-lite and non-raid).
