Guys, i have a Socket A motherboard, and when i got it it says it was able to do 1.25 ghz.. is that the max i can do? I used this Asus Update utility and it got me a flash file which says i can use XP processor, i want to get a XP but can my motherboard handle it? its a A7V133A . Will my motherboard handle a 1.4 ghz? Thanks. |

i am planning to get a AMD ATHLON/PALOMINO XP1600 (1.4ghz) Socket A FREE BADGE $279 would a 250 watt case do? cause the thunderbird 1.4 can use a 250 watt case i think, and from what i heard the XP processors use less power?... |
