to update the bios on most motherboards. I've read different things in different places, some say you have to put a duron/athlon in, update bios then put the sempron in. Others say the Sempron works fine out of the box just gets shown as a athlon during...

speed amd sempron 2500. My AMD Sempron 2500 will show only 2200 on the screen. Windows XP will show only 1.75 Ghz. Any ideas how to make it work at correct speed. Motherboard is Soyo k7vme. (100 133 166 can be chosen by jumper). Thanks Radu. My AMD Sempron...

sticks to give you 2gb of ram at 333 FSB. The Sempron 3000+ runs at 166(333FSB) x 12 =1999.In order to actually check this you will need to enter the BIOS(watch for the message push delete to enter BIOS when you start your system.and look for the settings...

I can't even seem to be able get it to initialize read from CD-ROM at startup, the BIOS is so freaking shoddy. So I was going to replace it with a Sempron budget chip from AMD, to keep the cost down, to make it a little more "future-proof" than it is at the...
