Athlon for Elitegroup K7SEM v1.1

I don't see AMD supporting Athlon's on this board
http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_1274_759^1039^2338,00.html

but Duron up to 900MHz is supported

However: Quote: ECS specs:
supports the AMD® Athlon/Duron K7

Early K7SEM can't run 133 MHz CPU bus. Later ones that have the rev. B1 chipset can, and the v3.x ones that actually are PC-Chips M810 v7.x can too.

running Duron 600 & pc133

Yes sure. Durons run 100 MHz CPU bus. With those, you can run either 100 or 133 MHz RAM.

I could live w/ a 900, but I wanted to put a Athy 1.2 in. This is just a 2nd pc anyway.

I got the K7SEM 1.1.

I ran a 600, 800 duron in there, then a 1.0GHz Athlon. But funny, it never crossed paths with my 1.2.

I remember in the bios settings. They do have an option for 133MHz CPUs (Original Bios)

FSB/MEM
100/100
108/108
112/112
100/133
133/133

I was even able to overclock my duron some! Never tried the 133 though. And the comptuers are 60 miles apart so I can't try it for you- sorry.
