Gigabyte GA-7VRXP w/Barton 2500+

[estew33]

Hi All,
I have the above mentioned board which is suppose to have the VIA KT 333 chip. I want to buy a barton 2500+, to upgrade my 1800+. I go to Gigabyte's site ,check out the supported cpu's. It makes no mention of supporting any 2500+ ( does amd make a athlon 2500+?), but does say it supports a 2600+ w/ 266 bus speed. The site say's it doesn't support any 333 bus speed cpu's, which I don't understand since this is a 333 chipset board.
I'm running the latest bois off gigabyte's site
Is anyone running a GA-7vrxp w/2500+ barton, if so any special drivers I would need to use or precautions I should take.
I checked the site up and down in and out, not able to find any mention of either.
If not able to run the barton 2500+ on this board , would anyone have an idea or know why.
I sent an e-mail to gigabyte ,no answer yet.
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanking all who answer in advance!!!
Peace and Happiness!!!!
Ed

Okaaaaay....I'll play, call you with an Albatron KX18D Pro II w/Barton 2500+.

Edit: Ah, text! Rats, I suppose you expect something non-smart-alecky now. Jeesh.

I'm using the ga-7vaxp ultra with a barton 2500. I built a K7VT600 with a 2500 barton too. No trouble.

Hope that helps,
