I know it is an oldie but a goodie....but....

I bought this board(GA-7DX ...Rev.2.2) for a backup rig I have here. From my Googling I get conflicting info on which XP chips it will run.

Anybody know which is the fastest XP processor I can get for this rig.

I have 256 mb. Crucial DDR2100
350 watt P.S.
Good air cooling (plus HSF on Northbridge)

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Looks like the 2100+ TBred is the fastest CPU for this mobo (rev2.2). But then its a 266FSB mobo, so with F7 bios probably 2200+ Tbread. :confused:


Yeah, I have already checked that page but someone (I don't know them well either) told me that it would run up to XP2600.

I was hoping someone here was first-hand familiar with this board and knew for a fact what it would run.

Thanks,
Jeff

Just checked on a couple of other sources I use from time to time (including one you may have posted to) and can only report no joy. Very limited results and inconsistant results on faster processors. Looks like the 2200+ might be the highest; if itindeed works. Thanks to Gigabyte for their (lack of ) support for this board.
