does ECS K7S5A work with 2200+ ?

[Colt45]

i think it does, but i cant seem to find any evidence leading to a solid yes/no.

gonna get a 2200+ tomorrow, and put this 800 Tbird to rest.

im kind of out of the loop lately.. so dont laugh too hard at me

yeah it should work. when you boot up it might say unidentified cpu or something but it should work at the 2200+ speed.

I know the Pro version (K7S5A)will work with all 266mhz FSB based XP CPUs with latest BIOS,including the latest 1.8 Duron.

A definite Yes, even for the non-pro. As long as the CPU is for 133 MHz bus, it'll work just fine. Mind the increased power and cooling requirements when upgrading, and give the board the latest BIOS _before_ changing the hardware.

So a 2400+ /266 thoroughbred will work then??

buddy of mine has one with a 1ghz Athlon needs an upgrade plays Dark Age of Camelot and they are getting an expansion soon.

he has 512mb of 2100 DDR now which I think he might double it to 1gig soon as well...

We've got 2 2400+s here at home running on k7s5a non pro's and I know someone who's got the 266 fsb 2600 running on one. They didn't even need a bios flash as I recall it (but they're not my systems). Nope, I was there when one got dropped in, no problem with the bios... I think any 266/133 fsb tbred or paly will do ya.

Be sure to update your bios though...
