i'm posting from work but i will edit in any more info when i get home if needed.
finally had time to replace my 1 gig amd with a 2600+ barton i bought a while back. everything went smooth except it booted as a 1200. opened the bios and of course the mb default fsb was set at 100. i hopped on amd's site to get the specs i needed to change. amd shows 3 different 2600+ cpu's. mines a retail box and serial ends in 2600bbox which doesn't match the #s on their site(i will edit in the whole # when i get home).
by looking at the specs on the 3 2600+'s 2 of them are 266fsb and 1 is 333fsb. since mine clearly states on the box 512k L2 cache, i figure mines 333fsb.
opend bios again and set bus to 166. vcore and multiplier were set to auto. i set vcore to 1.650 and multiplier to 11.5 according to the specs i found at amd.
it boots and runs fine, but it identifies itself as 2500+ instead of 2600+. i think it was running around 1910mhz or so. should i tweak with it further and is 1900 what it should be running? i cant check amds site here at work since this pc is unix and wont open .pdf files.
i will edit in any info you need this evening.
MSI KT4V-L
Amd 2600+ Barton(retail box)
xp pro retail
512 pc2700 ddr333
this is the machine i put together several months back for editing vids of the kids and digital pics. i swapped cpu's to render video faster.
