Help. How do you tell the MSI Pro and the Pro2 apart.

[Ren111]

Please help me. I boughth is board and I can't tell if it is the pro 2. My gut instinct is no. Here is what the order slip said:

MSI MS-6330 (K7T PRO-2) VIA KT133 CHIPSET ULTRA ATA66 ATX FORM FACTOR 1xAGP(4X)/6xPCI/1xCNR/3xDIMM
It also has the green heatsink on the north bridge.

I can't find the multiplier adjustment. I looked in the BIOS?s Frequency / Voltage Controls section and it wasn't in there. What can I do.

Please help. Do I need a bios update?

Thanks Paul:Q

On the Pro 2, it has as gold colored heatsink. Also it will say Pro 2 between the PCI slots. Mine came with 4700uf very tall silver capacitors around the cpu socket.

Detailed comparison at Orange delta.

The green southbridge heatsink indicates a Pro. The "Frequency multiplier adjustment (7.0x to 12.5x)" is not present on the Pro.

Denis, good info, but he did ask what the difference btw the pro and pro 2 was. Now thanks to you, ol buddy, we also know the difference btw the pro 2 and the pro 2A.

I was correcting that while you posted. I'm getting old and my eyesight is failing.
