Running A7V133 and AthlonXP CPU.....

[cmaMath13]

Hello,

If you are currently running an Asus A7V133 mobo with an AMD AthlonXP processor, then would you
1) post what Bios you are using?
2) the default speed of cpu?
3) if you overclock and what the new speed is?

Thanks.

A7V133 rev 1.04, XP2000+, bios 1007, 136fsb giving me 1700MHz. ... i got lucky with this particular board.

VERY NICE! Thanks for the information. I currently have a 1.1GHz T-Bird running 1.2GHz at 133MHz FSB, but I am considering upgrading to at least an XP1900. I am using the 1007 bios, too. Thus, I am in great shape!

Thank you sir!

A7V133 PCB ver 1.04 & 1.05 can run Xp w/ bios 1007. But the mobo could only run XP stable using jumpermode. O/Cing could be hamper by this. PCB ver 1.05. (note the trailing dot) will be able to run XP is jumper/jumperfree mode.

Just to ad on, there r ppl who run PCB 1.05 & below using jumperfree mode...but I must say tht this is very rare.

Yea, you're telling me. I'm still knocking on wood every day... 1.04 board running overclocked XP2000+ in jumperless mode, using auto Vcore setting. Might have to go to church every day for this windfall of good luck

LOL. If ur mobo is stable for now...chances r it will be continuously stable...no worries. The apparent vcore controller limitation on PCB 1.04 & 1.05 seems not affecting you. It know make me believe tht many who fail to run in jumperless mode...incl. myself might be due to other probs.

If u r OK..PM me ur spec....I would like to hv a look.

Currently running 1700MHz with 136fsb... not much to my system:

A7V133 rev 1.04 bios 1007
XP2000+ (stock hsf)
512MB (2x256 sticks) crucial CL2 SDRAM
Visiontek GF3 Ti200 (200/460)
D-Link NIC
SBLive! Value
3com internal DSL modem
Kenwood 72x True-X
Yamaha 8x8x24 burner
IBM 75GXP 20GB
Western Digital 205BA 20GB
300W power supply
Windows 98SE

I have a gut feeling the exact quality of memory has a big factor in making an XP cpu work with the A7V133 boards.

rimshaker,

Looks like a very nice system to me. If you don't mind telling me, where and how much did you buy cpu for?


Also (not that it's that important), what kind of 3Dmark2001 scores are you getting?

Thanks.

 

[rimshaker]

I got the XP2000+ for free from AMD Roadshow in Orlando few weeks ago

3dmark2001 scores are between 6700-6800. Limited due to lack of DDR ram

Very nice. Thank you.

Even in SDRAM config...ur system is ass kickin. . About the quality of the RAM...hmm...not sure bout it thou. I dun hv an A7V133 to test anymore.
