Can anyone tell me (or point me to a good website) if my Iwill KK266 MB will work with one of them there new Athlon XP's? I figure I'll have to do a Bios Upgrade... since I still have the Orginal Iwill Bios (1/13 or something like that)... but other than that... can I run these new processing beasts?

I have absolutely no need for the extra processing speed... but I must have one!! 😀 😛 <homer>mmmmm.... XP.... </homer>

Thanks in advance
 
Thanks... Hey.... how the heck did you get your FSB up to 158Mhz w/o your PCI stuff croaking? When I run much over 140, my USB stuff seems to act up. Ugh. Maybe USB is suck?
 
Regardless of whether you go with the XP or not, you need to bring your bios up to date.
This board (and most boards with this chipset) had some serious southbridge problems that are largely (completely?) fixed by bios updates. I saw very significant improvements in my PCI bus performance when I upgraded my KK266 bios.
