Hi all,
I've roamed the web endlessly in search of a definitive answer, and I
begin to suspect there's no such animal.
Reading indicates that the 1.05 (no dot) should support Athlon XP's up
to 2100+ in jumpered mode, even though the ASUS website indicates
otherwise. Looks like the German website USED to say it was good, but
now no longer does so.
So, I come to the folks that know, with questions:
1 - What's the likelihood that it will work? Is there anything else
that should be looked at to determine this? Is the ICS 94215AF clock
generator really a factor? I looked, and the chip that should be so
identified has no markings whatsoever. Is that a problem?
2 - What's the best bet? Most of what I read says go Palomino, but
there are obviously some out there using Thoroughbreds and even
Bartons with mixed degrees of success.
3 - Assuming a Palomno XP xx00+ is the way to go, what jumper settings
need changing? What BIOS settings?
4 - Is there a significant risk of making a dog's breakfast of my
current XP Pro SP1 install? Assuming, that is, that I'm a relative
innocent who knows which end of a soldering iron NOT to hold, but
would never put that end willingly inside his case?
Thanks muchly for any constructive advice.
