Hi All
I have a Epox 8kta3+ mobo with a Athlon 1.0g cpu. This has been the best system I have ever owned bar none. A frind gave me a Athlon XP2000 cpu(1700) and I would like to put it into the ta3+ mobo. I know the Bios does not support the 2000 cpu but if the 2000 is pin compatable with my old cpu ,which I think it is, can I put it into the ta3+, set up the correct volts, multipliers, etc and make it run? I dont expect it to run like a mobo that was made for it but I would like to get a free boost of some kind from the XP 2000 cpu. Power supply is up to the task along with everything else.

Thanks for reading GEC

looks like someone got one working...might be worth a try...the worst that could happen is that it blows up (just kidding, it just wouldn't boot)
