A7N266VM (rev 1.03) w/ Palomino

[frereJacques]

anyone know if there's any issue with a Palomino core in the VM version of this board? The board posts with an Athlon core chip but doesn't with this Palomino. I'm guessing the Palomino is bad (no way to test for sure) but thought I'd throw out the comment for assurance.


thanks

I have four running with Palomino-core 1800+'s on them. What speed of CPU do you have on yours? Perhaps it's a multiplier issue...

1800 - but the Athlon which worked was an 1800 too. It would still POST if it were a bios issue, yes?

Wait a min. There were no 1800MHz, no 1800+ rating, and no 1.53GHz T-Bird's ever made. Please clarify for us what CPU is working. Thanks Oh, and a friend of mine has a XP 1600+ in a A7N266-VM
