Hello all
I bought this mobo from a member here on the For Sale Forum: ECS K7VTA3 v8.0
http://www.ecsusa.com/products/k7vta3_8.html
And in the manual and online I can't figure out what the smallest cpu it will use.
I tried a Duron 1.3 and an Athlon XP 2000 but it would not post with either cpu. I cleared the cmos and took the battery out, just in case the guy I bought it from hadn't cleared it from his previous setup. But it didn't seem to matter.
Maybe I'm wrong, but according to the website, it looks like I have to use at least an Athlon XP 2100 and up. Can someone tell me if this is right or not???
I'm fairly new to this stuff so please be patient and kind with the computer terminology please

Also, can someone PM me for an answer because I'm not getting the response thing properly by email and the mod's keep trying to fix it.
Thanks in advance, Peggy.
