Question gigabyte f2a68hm-ds2 motherboard

[mikehatihati]

Any body using this gigabyte MB with winxp.?

According to gigabyte specification, " To support Windows XP 32-bit, you must install an AMD FM2+ Kaveri APU"
Fine if it works.

I recently purchased a Asus A68HM-K MB. Because they claim to support win xp. However I could not install win xp. Asus Technical support , said works only 64 bit.



Thanks, mike

What CPU are you using with this motherboard? Why XP?

Are you referring to the info found here?

The cpu I purchased is AMD A6-7480 . Because it was available and listed on Asus approved CPU list.

The program is Mach 3 and only works in 32 bit.

Not a lot of info on that CPU (APU). Still looking.

Do you have a link for the game your are referring to? Several games referred by that title over the years.

That is a Kaveri CPU (APU). Did you try to install Win XP with SP3 slip-streamed into the install media?
