July 17, 200322 yr Hi all :-waveI have brought a XP2200+/1800 mhz AMD cpu for my Epox 8K7a+ mobo, up from a AMD 1.33 TB...In my BIOS the old clock setting was 133, am I correct in thinkingthe new figuire shud be 180..???I am not much of a techie chap so any advice whud be most welcome :Dkind regards,Steve
July 17, 200322 yr Nope, Steve, leave that setting (Front Side Bus) at 133. The MB will read the correct speed of the new CPU.Cheers,
July 17, 200322 yr Ok thankyou, ;-) on bootup the first screen says 'Unkown CPU'which made me think I had to change the setting, glad I did'nt..!cheers,Steve
July 17, 200322 yr "on bootup the first screen says 'Unkown CPU'"Hmmm... have you checked to make sure that your BIOS accepts that newer CPU?
July 17, 200322 yr Hi Greg,I checked on the mobo site for info, XP2200+ was ok for moboand I have the latest BIOS..Steve
