    Speed of ATHLON XP 1600+

    Thanks for all of the replies. I am going to read them all again. I was very very carefully when I put the computer together and I even used a magnifing glass to make sure everything was set properly and I know the setting was for jumper free (but I will re-check). I am going to download the...

    Athlon XP 1600 work in Asus A7V133 motherboard

    Will a Athlon XP 1600 work in a Asus A7V133 KT133A Socket A Motherboard. The Assus website says they have a bios download that supports XP processors. I know it will support Durons CPUs and the Athlon Thunderbird up to 1.1 mhz. Any comments would be appreciated.
