computer question

Post by benstylus »

I have this motherboard: http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=KT4VL

any idea what the fastest processor I can put in it is? Right now i've just got a AMD 1.2 ghz and it's finally starting to show its age.
You're arguing for a universe with fewer waffles in it. I'm prepared to call that cowardice.

If you update the board to the latest BIOS version, it should support up to an Athlon XP 3200+.

If you're not too shy of overclocking, you could get some fantastic results for a decent bit cheaper with a Mobile Athlon XP 2500+ and a good CPU heatsink/fan setup.
