Q: Upgrading the CPU on a ECS 741GX-M Motherboard

[myblueshoes]

I have an AMD ATHLON AX1700 (Not XP or MP) at 1.47MHz, Socket A/462 PGA. I would like to know if I can replace it with an AMD 2200 MP.

(This is my motherboard: http://geek.pricegrabber.com/search_techspecs_full.php/masterid=2741628)

I know the MP will physically fit my motherboard which suppoprts DDR 333/266 SDRAM and a FSB of 333MHz and also supports Athelon XP/Sempron/Duron CPUs.

But can it handle the Athelon MP at 2200+ AMD Socket A at 1.8GHz without any problem?

Any help appreciated.

AMD ATHLON AX1700 (Not XP or MP) ???? I don't think it exists....
It should be an Athlon XP 1700+, no ?

Anyway, yes, your mb can handle all XP/MP except 3000 & 3200 with FSB400

"AX1700 (Not XP or MP)"

AX is an Athlon XP

For example AX1500DMT3C

AX = Athlon XP (Model 6/Palomino)
AXDA = Athlon XP (Model 8/Thoroughbred and Model 10/Barton)
AXDL = Low-power Athlon XP (Model 10/Barton only?)
AXDC = Athlon XP (Model 10/Thorton)
AXLD = Low-power Athlon XP SFF (Model 8/Thoroughbred)
AMDA = Possibly Athlon XP (Model 10/Barton)

AX**** = XP

The worst is that I perfectly know it !

I read fast and didn't see the 'X', but perfectly saw the 'not XP or MP'...

Nope!!! The ONLY 1700 is an AMD XP Athlon 1700+(1466mhz) 5.5x @266FSB. Was and still is knowned for overclockers!!!


...
Now moving to ,
CPUSWE...there is another one !!!


I am looking for this one :
AMD Athlon XP 1700+, 1.47 GHz (AXP1700BOX) Intel Boxed Processor!!!

To me, this is the rarest AMD CPU !!!
I'd take this over an 4004 anyday !!!(no offence)

The AX1500DMT3C was just an example of the part number taken from gshv:s info. It was a reply to "AMD ATHLON AX1700 (Not XP or MP)" where AX = XP.

(I see my post is a bit unclear...)

No worries, I was refering to "myblueshoes"

The only part I discuste with your topic was the interest in the different AX... codes. I just thought it would interest you to know about the AXP1700BOX I was talking about

Tis all,
