I have a 133 final rev. board (1.05 I think/it is the final rev. regardless) Has run a 1.3 Duron for at least a year. The Duron was a PITA to set up and forget about using the jumperless settings. In hindsight I think it was underclocked at 100mghtz. Switched to a 1900XP and once again attempted to use the jumperless, once again what a joke. I then set everything to what I thought was 133mghtz, noticed the thing was not running at 1900 and started checking, I had read the DSW upside down. RESET the dips and would not boot, however it did post. Fiddled with the dipps and wound up running at 110mghtz just fine. Continued to fiddle with the FSB to try to get it to run at 133mghtz. Swapped memory (Crucial), cleared cmos, tried everything I could think of including leaving the battery out overnight. I get no beep, no post nothing, on either of the CPU's. The HDD light does stay active for the "normal" period of time but then goes out for good. Your thoughts please.

Only palomino is supported on that board. If your trying to use a t-bred then you will have lots of problems.

Solution: Buy a proper motherboard, a decent Asus or Epox can be had for $50 and you will have the Athlon XP 1900 running like the wind.
