Hi peeps

I've been doing a bit of research on this mobo
(KT133) and have realised that even though it was made before the introduction of the Athlon 266fsb, it does support it.

Mobo information here:
<A HREF="http://www.chaintech.com.tw/PROD/7xMB/7AJA.htm" target="_new">http://www.chaintech.com.tw/PROD/7xMB/7AJA.htm</A>

Although im not convinced that upgrading will be plain sailing.

So i guess what im asking is does anyone have any experience of this particular mobo and will it be easy enough to put an Athlon 1.4ghz into it and run windows 2000?

If there were any problems, did upgrading the bios solve them?

The platform is mainly going to be used for gaming and surfing the net.

Cheers for any help...

Just in case anyone was following this post, i installed the Athlon 1.4ghz on the mobo and the computer went dead. Tried to put the other CPU in (Duron 650mhz) but the computer remained dead - DOH. I'll post what exactly went wrong when i find out...
