Help me with Cpu (athlon) question?

[ce]

I have the Asus A7V that the Asus website says I can go up to 2100
Athlon XP (with the latest Bios which I have). I ordered a 2100 and the
guys jerked around for 2 weeks before they finally shipped and they sent a 2200.

I dont know if they thought they were doing me a favor or what.
Anyhow, anyone know what will happen if I try to use this
in my mobo? Will it just run at 2100 speed? Or will it not even boot?
It's a retail calm shell so if I open it, I cant return it...

Any suggestions/info would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Greg

Which a7v you got? on 266A, 333 or 333A chipset? Well, if the webiste says that with the newest bios youll go to 2100+ - then its true.
