I just bought a Epox 8KRAI-X motherboard (socket A) to use to upgrade
my linux server. I'd like to install a *Mobile* Athlon XP 2200 or
2500 Barton core 266FSB cpu instead of a regular XP Barton core cpu.
I'd like to take advantage of the *Mobile* cpu since it's 35 Watts
(2200) or 45 watts (2500) - Why ? - Because of less heat, the server
will be in a closet.
Will this work ? Can I lower the cpu voltage on this board in order to
use one of these two mobile processors ? Will the board recognize it
as *Mobile* cpu and allow me to use the AMD Powerup technology ?
If not, will it still work without POST errors ?
Has anyone else attempted this ?
Thanks in advance !!!!
