Upgrading form AMD 1.33 to XP 2200+

[olds]

Do I just pull the old CPU and put in the new one? Or is going from Tbird to XP different?

As long as the mobo supports the XP, just switch them and make sure FSB is set to 133.

Might have to flash your bios.

Tell me how much of a difference you notice...... I'm considering a 1.33 to XP2400+ jump in the near future.

my soyo dragon+ is supposed to be compatible with the thourghbred XP's with a bios upgrade.. but the majority of people on amdmb.com forums arent able to get it to work at all..

I have done the switch to XP2100+ from the 1.333. The difference is amazing. It runs cooler and way faster.

Got a little side tracked but I am back at it. What I am doing is going from the 1.33 to a 2200+, GeForce2 Ultra to a Ti4200 and from a Gamer 5.1 with LiveDrive IR to Audigy 2 Plat.
Stock, 3181 on 3D Mark 2001 and 8993 with the Ti4200. Default settings with all background apps running. Next I'll put in the 2200+ and run it again.
