I noticed that Intel has both a 2.6 and 2.8 GHz P4 with a 400 MHz FSB. The
Fire Dragon documentation says it is limited to 2.4 GHz which was the
fastest CPU at 400 MHz FSB way back in the day. My question: is there any
reason that the 2.6 or 2.8 GHz cpus would not work on the Fire Dragon...even
if the bios does recognize them 100%.
I was going to purchase a 2.4 GHz cpu to replace my 2.0A but 2.8 GHz sounds
like a much better deal to me.
This is what Soyo Tech Support says: "Officially the motherboard can
support up to 2.4Ghz 400MHz FSB only. This is a limitation of the Chipset
and it can never be altered. So we suggest you to use another processor
because we cannot assure you the stability of the system using this kind of
cpu."
Thanks,
