Pro2A is actually a KT133A indisguise?

[kw3i]

a couple of people were mentioning this in the overclockers bios thread for the turbo-R board, just thought it deserved its own thread. does anyone have any information on this or is this just a stupid rumor started by some wishful thinkers?

Wow, this would be incredible. Someone please tell me this is true!!!!! I've been looking for an excuse to buy a new 266 FSB T-Bird.

^b^u^m^p^

I heard the same thing...must of read the same thread as you. I doubt it, what would be the benefits of the Turbo then?

 

[Biggs]

FSB at 133Mhz and beyond.

 

[kw3i]

yea your right, but im wondering why someone would state this in the first place, i just want to be sure: )

I have a pro2a also; I don't think that it's a kt133a. Wouldn't H.Oda's wcpuid list the chipset as kt133a under agp info if it were? (ver 2.8c-b5)

As far as pro2a vs. turbo, I thought the turbo also had built-on RAID in addition to the 133a chipset.

why would msi disguise it??? i mean if it was a kt133a they would shout out the fact not hide it

 

[nubomb]

How HIGH will the FSB go on the Pro2A??? Whats the max people have out there? What bios version?

I thought I heard 107-110 but on other boards.

Dream on, although the two are "pin" compatable, the real test is the "133MHz and beyond" (as Buzz Lightyear would put it) Later yeilds of the KT133 are supposed to do better than earlier versions however.

Just take of the heatsink off of the northbridge and see which chip you have. KT133 no doubt.

Wwhere the heck is that dam jumper to unleash 133 MHz FSB then ?

 

[lebe0024]

I took my NorthBridge HS off to put some Arctic Silver on, It is a KT133, NOT the "A" version.

 

[Dhurd3]

Same thing here.
