Hey! I got an ECS K7vza board and an Athlon 4 Mobil 850 processor for quite cheap.
I put in the 850, and it only detects as 504 MHZ! The BIOS options are extremely limited for adjusting things. You can only jack the FSB up to 112MHZ, and that locks my system when I do.
I think at about 111MHZ the processor will detect as 548 MHZ.
I tried out an Athlon 700 in it, and it worked as expected.
Any ideas as to how I can fix this problem? I've looked and I haven't seen anything about an incompatiability issue...
Apparently also, the Athlon 4's use a lower voltage, but my mobo doesn't allow me to modify it. Are there any ways to circumvent this?
Thanks!
edit:
After changing the hardware FSB jumpers from 100MHZ to 133MHZ, the processor picked up at 666 MHZ. This is still not 850, and it's a far cry away from over clocking :$
