Hi group,

I touched on this subject yesterday but didn't receive the answer that I was
looking for. (Almost but not quite)

I purchased the ASRock K7VM2 Motherboard. It has 2 settings for its FSB; 100
and 133. I also purchased the AMD XP 2500 Processor with Fan,(Boxed set).
When the Processor has a FSB from 166, I will reach the 2500; but my new
motherboard only has a maximum of 133. Can I overclock it the extra 33
without thermal damage. AMD doesn't respond to my questions through email
and neither does ASRock, and I would like an answer. :)

I would appreciate any and all the help I can get

Thanks in advance

GL

If the motherboard ONLY has those two settings it seems
strange. You probably are not using the BIOS setting
properly/ Did you get a manual with the motherboard? Have
you read it? If you don't have the mobo manual, download
one...

There is a multiplier that runs the CPU at some factor so
that it runs at the proper frequency, the AMD 2500 does not
run at 2500 MHz (2.5 GHz) but at a lesser clock speed.

AMD recommends only two mobo models for that CPU...from
ASRock
AMD AthlonT XP 2500+ (333 FSB)

Any Form Factor, Asrock.

In short you bought the wrong mobo. It took me a few
minutes to do the home-work you should have done.

If you set the FSB to 133Mhz, the CPU FSB should be set to 266. However,
ASrock is stating that the 2500+ processor is NOT SUPPORTED by your K7VM2
motherboard.

AMD agrees, wrong mobo.

the Athlon XPs have some funny series. In this case the processor is
designed for 333 mh FSB (166 x 2) You also have to be carefull because
in some cases processors that have the same name are actually different
cores and require different voltages and frequencies. Take XP 2000+.
Some are toward the top of and older core and work with older
motherboards that have had the multiplier range extended. But a later
core XP 2000+ may or may not work with that board.
