MSI KT3 Ultra2 ARU

Just curious, what is the fastest processor one has attached to this
mobo and the speed attained - stable without problems.

My MSI KT3 Ultra2 ARU now runs on a AthlonXP 1600 and I am thinking of
upgrading the processor to a faster one - which should be going cheap
now. Any recommendations?

cheers
Gerald

Barton 2500+ here - and no 2800+ because I was afraid it wouldn't
work. The Barton 3000+ should also work.

But do get some decent RAM [PC3200 or better, as 2700 will not work
at anything but the slowest speed settings for the RAM :-( ] to go
along with either.

Many thanks Rolf Egil Sølvik. The idea of changing the RAMs is not so
appealing for a simple speed bump, but I guess you are right.

I'll have to give it some thought.

Anyone else?

cheers

What are the specs of your current memory Gerald?

I just rechecked:

Processor: AMD Athlon XP 1700 (1.46Ghz)
RAMS: Apacer PC2700 512MB (256x2) DDR RAM (333Mhz)

Since the Athlon XP is reaching the end of its product life cycle and I
could get it cheap now, I am considering an upgrade.

Any advice is appreciated.

cheers
Gerald
