I have an ASUS a7V 333 Mobo and Im upgrading my now athlon 2000Xp to a 2700Xp, if my bios is updated, I should just be able to pop in the new CPU without a problem and change settings in my bios right????

Will windows function normally ?:D

yup and i dun know :)

I would suggest perhaps formatting since windows id's your rig per the hardware config... ergo... it will have changed a bit..
 
i did a friends A7V333 with the 2700 chip.
Flash to the new BIOS and when it boots withh the new chip it popped the bios up and asked what speed i wanted, 3 choices. its so easy :)
 
awesome thanks.hopefully the transition goes smoothly. Thanks for the prompt response.
 
one of the only kt333 boards that supports a 333fsb, isn't it? seeing as it was made before the 333fsb processors were even talked about, good job asus. :)
 
Yeah I think the 2400 Xp was the fastest processor @ the time when I got this motherboard.
 
it does make the mobo a little warm though running the 2700, so i advise good case fans, me mate jumped 7 degrees on the mobo when we switched to 333 fsb. good old thermaltake smart fans to the rescue :)
 
Im actually upgrading to give my old processor for another system, sorry :(.

I have a thermaltake on my CPU now, with arctic silver, and four case fans. If my system will get hot I will just invest in a new CPU cooler.
 
that should be a fairly cold system with four case fans

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
