Will the Athlon XP 2600 2.133GHZ CPU work on my Abit KG7-RAID Motherboard?

I am pretty sure I would HAVE to use the 266MHZ BUS version and not the newer model.

If it will work can you tell me the CPU settings? Using the latest BIOS on my KG7-RAID and there is no PRESET setting for an AthlonXP 2600 Processor.

Thanx.

Oh! what about this: get a 2400+ and use the extra $100 or so torwards the purchase of a Asus A7N8X nForce motherboard. Then using this motherboard's ability to up the multiplier in the BIOS, you can turn your 2400+ into a 2600+ (266MHz FSB). Now that's flexability! :wink:

Reminder: If you get the Asus A7N8X motherboard and you have Windows XP, install <A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/servicepacks/sp1/default.asp" target="_new">Service Pack 1</A>.

Notes: May have to reinstall your OS after the motherboard change. Make sure the FSB is set to 133MHz in the BIOS and CPU vcore set to either 1.65V or 1.75V. And if you get the asus board, please provide us with feedback if it's not too much trouble. Cheers!
