sure as long as you cut out the Mr Uddarts and just call me ud!

a bootable usb drive is what i have been using lately and it works nice. whether one would work on that board is unknown.

DATE 2-14-2003 I kinda remember doing a flash bios update long ago

personally, i would leave what you have unless a problem arises. that one you have should work fine.

Another post another flawless year of operation. 9 years and still going. I wish that other things I buy lasted this long.

Wow

If a XP2600+ cpu runs at 1.92mhz, then what does my 1.4ghz T-bird (stock settings on mobo) cpu run at?

Would I notice a difference installing andproperly setting up 2600?

hehe would I be able to watch ABC back episodes of shows (shamed to admit hooked on LOST) which now play sqippy or jumpy on the 1.4




ALSO : is there a way to print up ALL of the pages of THIS topic? Without doing one page at a time

I'm a LOST fan and there was a time when I was catching up on abc.com and the player seems to be fairly CPU hungry. I wouldn't bother with anything less than a dual core CPU.

AXDA2600DKV4D 333FSB 1.91Ghz Multiplier=11.5x is a barton core and wouldn't run at specs and may not post on your board.

what you need is cpu with a 133/266 fsb.

you can find a list here.

read back in thread to find confirmed cpu compatibility.

as for the 1400 tbird: 10.5x133=1397mhz.

Did I ever ask anyone who has the drivers for the 8K7A+ mobo? Ive been searching on web for them with not much luck. Over the weekend I did find some that said they were but Im leary to try.
