Difference in Athlon XPs

[Mario283]

Hello all,

I have a question, and I think this would be the best site for me to get the correct answer. I have a Shuttle AK35GTR motherboard, and I want to get the most that I can out of it.

I want to know if I can upgrade it to an Athlon XP 3200+ 400FSB. According to Shuttle the motherboard can be upgraded to an AthlonXP 3000+ 300FSB.

How much difference is there between the two processors? Can I put the 3200+ in and do some overclocking to make up for the 100FSB difference?

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance,

Mario

...funny....
I'm getting that you can only go as high as 200/266 FSB.

Hence the highest available chip for you would be the:


Athlon XP-M 3000+(mobile)

or

Athlon 2800+ (AXDA2800DKV4C)(desktop)

...odd....

From what I get out of Bios revision AK35S20G (see below) I can upgrade to an Athlon XP 3000+. Please note that it states nothing about the XP-M 3000+. I found a 3000+ at Zipzoomfly and the FSB is 300. Am I missing something?

Also note that the default FSB in the bios is 133, and I can raise it in increments of 1MHz to 200 FSB; hence my question can I put in an Athlon XP with a higher FSB and raise the FSB higher than 133 in the Bios?

...on top you only put --> AK35GTR

That leaves alot of different versions to find

But ya,, the 133fsb is actually @ x2 for 266fsb max.

The reason why you see the 3000+ is that it is a moblie chip.
-->Athlon XP-M 3000+ 2200 MHz /512 KiB /266fsb MT/s /16.5x(multiplier) / 1.65 2003 AXMA3000FKT4C

Hence you cannot put your "FSB" any higher then 266.according to your motherboard statistics, unless I missed something .


the Highest CPU found @ 266 is the indeed the mobile one.

My apologies, I forgot to thank you for your previous post.

If you are referring to the Bios revision, I have the latest one, AK35S20L. I should have included it in my initial post.

Thanks again,

Mario

I edited my post for more cpu ideas



go check it might help you more on what chip to buy!

I agree with JD - even though your board can be overclocked to 200 MHz FSB, it officially supports only 200 and 266 MHz FSB processors, which means that mobile Athlon XP-M with Thorton core is the fastest processor you can use in the board.
