M/Board - Processor

[Guest]

Hello,
I have a Asus A7V-E board, currently with an AMD Athlon 1.2 Ghz processor.
My friend is selling his AMD XP1800 1.5 GHZ chip, and was wondering if it
would go straight in????
Could the board handle it???? What sort of CPU can I go up to?

I've looked in the manual but nowhere does it mention anything

Any help would be greatly received,
Cheers - ant

No!

All CPUs with max. 100MHz FSB. Have a look at

you cannot use that cpu on a A7V-E as it is a 133 fsb chip and your board
only supports 100 fsb.

I don't know too much about this product, for example, whether it
has the necessary filters for the PLL inside the processor
or not, but if you can find an "unlocked" older AthlonXP, you
might try this adapter. Recent AthlonXP are locked a different
way, that this product cannot fix. Now, I'm not sure about
this, but the Mobile Athlon processors are unlocked, so
maybe a Mobile Athlon XP-M plus this adapter will work.
(Its a long shot.) With your FSB of 100, you will need a
high multiplier to get the maximum benefit, and the high
ratio between core frequency and the memory means you will
only get a real benefit for compute bound applications.
Photoshop, for example, won't get nearly the benefit that
other desktop applications might.

For all the trouble and risk, you might get a board like
A7N8X-X as an upgrade instead.

HTH,

Hi, Ant
Your Asus A7V-E board is only support an AMD Athon (Thunderbird) or
Duron with 200 FSB.
That mean a XP 1800 (with FSB 266) is not supported. Maybe that
processor can run in your mobo but I'm sure that XP will not stable.
