Will an xp 2000 run in an ECS K7VZA

I can't find anything saying this is possible, but that doesn't mean it's not. Has, or is, anyone ran this type of setup ?

Thanks in advance.

according to this page... the latest bios allows u to run 2400+ chips. so i would guess yes.

check it

K7VZA 3.0 3.7 2000+ 2200+

so yes

I have run an XP 1700 and 2100+ in that exact model... depends on revision. Is your Motherboard golden.yellow or is it black? PCB

But version 1.0 and 2.0 dont if I recall correctly, it HAS to be 3.0, so no if you have 1.0 or 2.0


Gold = screwed
black = golden (it will work

oops, i missed note 3 which says

K7VZA PCB V3.0 shipment starting from week 40 can support Athlon XP CPU which was available on Oct 11, 2001 (week 41).

so yeah, what dxkj said

Wow, I must be in the wrong forum! Here I thought I was browsing the verbal vomit that is Off Topic, but instead I must have stumbled into the motherboard forum. Sorry everybody!

 

[FoBoT]

this thread is actually in the motherboard forum, it just phase shifted to OT for a minute

It needs to be a v3.x revision mainboard, AND the processor needs to be a Palomino. No Thoroughbreds on this old board.

 

[dxkj]

Actually Thoroughbreds work fine on it, as long as its 3.0 or later.... with up to date bios.

 

[Peter]

Did you try? That'd be better news than what the offical list from ECS says.

 

[dxkj]

yeah currently running a 2100XP Tbred B in an ECS K7VZA rev 3.0 mobo.

edit, make that a 1700XP, Tbred B

 

[Peter]

Excellent! Then the fastest available CPU in there should be a 2400+ Tbred-B. Theoretically it's the 133 MHz bus 2600+ Tbred-B, but this is nowhere to be seen anymore.
