Need to upgrade my mobo. In manual it says CPU from 0.6 - 1.4 GHz, I know it can do better.
On MSI's pages:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=27
.. they have "verified" it for up to Palomino 2000+ (266
MHz FSB), however they Thoroughbred 2000+ (also 266 MHz FSB but 0.13 micron process instead of 0.18) is not ok.
The settings they used for testing was "auto".
With all the overclocking features of this board and the ami bios, I'm sure it's possible to come higher than 2000+? And in case it isn't, can anyone explain why the Palomino works (hard to get hold on now) but not the Thoroughbread (cuz I got a T-bred 2000+ in another 'puter I could use and then upgrade that one).
Any comments welcome 🙂
