Can I upgrade my CPU on this M830LR?

[bettle65]

I have a PC-Chips M830LR motherboard with Athlon XP1900+. How high can I go with Athlon XP? Thank you!

I think this board is the same as ECS K7S5A, i.e. you can upgrade to Athlon XP 2600+ (266 MHz FSB):

Thanks Gennadiy, I have one more question the vcore on 1900 is 1.75 and for 2600 is 1.65. It is going to adjust itself? I don't see on that website a need to update the bios! Thanks again!

I don't know about this motherboard, but many motherboards adjust voltage automatically. If it doesn't set the voltage for you then you should be able to do it in BIOS.

The voltage is not adjustable in bios, only the cpu frequency 100/133

According to K75SA manual it will automatically adjust the core voltage.
