How big of processor can the ECS K7S5A handle?

[Nyconx]

I am looking to put 1900+ for now and I am thinking it should work, anyone know if it will?

99% positive a 1900+ works

their webpage says it supports ALL xp processors.

I saw that too but want info on ppl trying it because i dont know if i can trust that

I've popped a 2000+ in it with NP and even OC'd it... I would venture to state that it'll handle all the squares until the Barton's come out then will see.

you can go all the way up to a 2600+

Had to update my bios, but I ran a 2200+ in mine. Currently it's running a 1900+. No problems with either cpu. (For some strange, strange reason it would not boot with a 1700+ I had, although that cpu works fine in other boards. Sometimes mb's are just weird.)

good new thanks everyone. This will be the second one Im picking up, first was for my mom which runs a 1.6 athlon and now this is going to be for a friends system.....just looking for stability and upgrading later on... the one my mom runs works flawlesly.

It's AMD recommended for up to 2100+ if I remember correctly, and according to ECS runs everything up to 2600+ as well. The new ones with 166 MHz ("FSB DDR333") system bus won't work, because the chipset can't do that.

Watch the power supply, you need to use something adequate for those hungry processors.

Aren't all AMD Athlon XP processors the same size?

XP has 3 different core revisions thus far, and the tbreds are smaller in size.
