Athlon XP on Asus A7V133 rev 1.04.0 Mobo???

I have an Asus A7V133 mobo, board rev level 1.04.0. I have flashed it to BIOS rev 1007.

Does anybody know if this board will support the XP cpu?

Although the 1007 BIOS was to provide support for the XP processor, the Asus website document http://usa.asus.com/inside/Techref/athlonxp.htm shows Athlon XP2000+ compatibility for mobo rev level 1.05.0 and up. The chart is not clear on whether earlier rev levels, like my 1.04.0 will support any of the XP chips.

Has anybody installed an XP into an earlier rev level A7V133 mobo successfully?

I'd hate to spend the money on a new cpu if it won't work.
TIA

i know the site says 1.05 supports the xp's but... everyone i know who has a 1.04 said they had no trouble using the xp cpu

as a side note... by far the majority of a7v133 boards are rev1.04
 
Thanks Boonesmi,
Of those A7V133 rev1.04.0 folks you know, what was the highest speed XP you're aware of they successfully installed?

I was thinking of the 1900+ (1.6@133x12) since I figure I could do a bit of mild OC'ing with the FSB (133-->140 or thereabouts), and the 1900+ are a lot cheaper than the 2000+!.
TIA,

I've got the XP2000+ working with my 1.04 board, using 1007 bios, jumperless mode, and auto vcore setting. Currently using 136fsb for an even 1700MHz.
 
Thanks, Rimshaker...
Your confirmation is what I needed to hear. I'll be placing my order this week. BTW, what vcore are you at, and what kind of mobo and cpu temps do you see at idle and at full load? Does your XP seem to run cooler than the original T-Bird you (probably) had?

Please take note that i'm probly one of the very few exceptions when it comes to having an XP working with a 1.04 board in jumperfree mode. I've read tons of horror stories from many sites about compatibility and stability. Most have got stable operation from XP1500+ and XP1600+, but anything higher and they ran into problems. I dunno how or why my particular m/b is happy with an XP2000+.... but i'm happpy too 🙂

Running at stock vcore of 1.75V. Using the retail hsf, i get 41-44C idle and about 52-55C full load temps. It actually ran a few degrees cooler than my 1.0GHz Tbird. But the retail hsf for the XP is much better quality than for Tbirds.

Yeah...rimshaker...u lucky fellow. OK. The rev 1.04-1.05 is compatible w/ XP CPU w/ bios 1.007. On most occasion, the mobo will only run stable using the jumper mode instead of the jumperfree mode where I think u r familiar w/. On the other hand, the ver 1.05. (note the trailing dot) will run XP w/ bios 1007 in JUMPERFREE mode.

The last known highest XP support for this mobo is XP2000+.

Hmmm.... the XP2000+ uses a 12.5x setting. Last time i was in the bios, i saw 13x and 14x settings too. Let's see what happens when XP2100+ and XP2200+ come out 🙂
