Currently I have AMD XP 1600 and I'm in process of purchasing XP1900 (Plalamino) and I was wondering if anyone can show me a link to step by step procedures for CPU swap, since I've never swap CPUs before.:eek:

TIA.:D

For the procedures, you may watch the AMD videos and read the literature here

Remember to clear your CMOS settings with the jumper after the swap.

Thanks for the link.:)

I should be able to reset CMOS just by removing lithium battery for awhile, right? I don't want to mess with jumpers if I don't have to.

It's much easier to short the "clear cmos" jumper than it is to take the battery out.
