How do you think this will work?

SHUTTLE AN35N-ULTRA Motherboard
AMD Mobile Athlon XP 2600+ 266 MHz FSB, 512K L2 Cache Processor
PC2100 DDR

PROCESSOR SPECS:
Model# AXMG2600FQQ4C
Core: Barton
Operating Frequency: 2GHz
FSB: 266MHz
Cache: L1/64K+64K; L2/ 512KB
Voltage: 1.45V
Process: 0.13Micron

My understanding is that I need to set the Vcore in the Shuttle Bios to 1.45 correct? Being that it is a mobile processor. Setting the Vcore any other setting will prevent the Bios from recognizing the CPU as the correct model, correct? If I put the Vcore to 1.6 will the CPU run faster, and if so will the Bios recognize it as the correct model CPU?

Just trying to figure everything out, I don't need/want to overclcok it. This is for my parents system and I want to put the CPU I have laying around to use. They currently have PC2100 DDR just like I do and want to spend the least amount of $$ possible so I figured I would re-use their ram, get a new MB and use my CPU.

I just want to make sure I understand what I need to do with the vcore settings to get it to run stable and recognize the CPU correctly. And if anyone knows of a reason this setup wouldnt work. Thanks!

It should run fine.. but i found that my mobile didn't auto-detect at all.
What I would reccomend doing is setting all of this in the bios yourself, instead of letting it detect it.
Also, i'de set the FSB to 333 or 400mhz - these chips can easily support it, and you can gain speed by bumping the FSB, but still keeping speed @ 2ghz by setting the mult accordingly.. soo..

266fsb - 133fsb x 15 mult = 1995mhz
333fsb - 166fsb x 12 mult = 1992mhz
400fsb - 200fsb x 10 mult = 2000mhz

You should be able to keep the voltage at 1.45v for all of this...

I have the same cpu and board. It will detect it at 266fsb i believe. It doesn't matter what it detects it as though, you will need to manually change it. As PCIber said put it at 200(400fsb)x10 which is a 2600+. Make sure you put a divider on the ram since it is pc2100 and will not run at 400fsb. You can easily manually set that for pc2100 in the bios. And the default voltage is 1.45 for this chip I believe. I would run it at 200x11... that chip wont even sweat.
