1.33 amd t-bird options--Added Another question

[new2AMD]

I have an amd 1.33 t-bird in an iwill kk266-a board. The board isnt working properly. I have to underclock it in order for it to run stable. What board would be a good replacement for this current chip but also be able to be used with an upgraded chip?

Do nf2 boards run old t-birds?

thanks and sorry if its a stupid question.

yes the NF2 mobos will run your 1.3 T-bird. Just decide what features you need and check around on this forum for recommendations.

for a real OC champ with all the bells and whisles the Abit NF7S, Asus A7N8X are good, for a good OC board with less features the Shuttle AN35 Ultra is a good buy.

Nforce2 board, definately. Ran and overclocked a Tbird 1GHz in my Asus A7N8X Deluxe before I upgraded to a Barton.

Will a new NF2 board run the pc133 ram or do I need to get new ram?

I don't recall seeing any NF2 boards that will use pc133.

time for some DDR, pc2700 at least and if possible get pc3200.

 

[Doh!]

Sell the PC133 RAM if you're going to upgrade the motherboard to an nforce2 board. If you have Fry's nearby, look for a combo special that has both cpu and the motherboard for a cheap price. Otherwise, you need to upgrade the RAM to DDR if you want to use an nforce2 board.
