I currently have a 800MHz Duron on a A7V133 mobo and was thinking about buying an Athlon XP 1600 or 1700 to replace my Duron; however, I'm concerned about something. I've had success running with bios version 1004 (which I'm currently running), but ran into some problems when updating to later versions. When I've attempted to update to more recent versions (and it's been a while), I would get a black screen and I would have to revert back to 1004. I think I may have had a problem when trying to use 1005a, but not 1005 as far as video. I may have run into another problem with 1005 or felt more comfortable with 1004, which is probably why I went back to 1004 (it's been quite a while that I can't recall).
I read sometime back about problems with bios updates and the Geforce2 GTS on the A7V133 mobo. I don't want to buy a new processor and update the bios for XP support only to find that I can't get video. Anybody remember this problem or know if it's been resolved?
Thanks.
