Who has a MSI K7T 266Pro ?

i'm able to get one locally for cheap ($59CAD) and was wondering if it'd be worth the cash.

what sort of OC options does it have etc.

Thanks, Digital

also, anyone know if the board is the via266 or 266a chipset.

Ok, DP, i'm going to take a stab at this, but i'm NOT 100% sure.

Assume: MSI K7T 266Pro
(Not K7T 266Pro2, K7T 266Pro2-A, K7T Pro, K7T Pro2, or K7T Pro2-A)

MSI K7T 266Pro is MS-6380 , same as mine except mine is Ver. 2

(I have K7T 266Pro2-RU, MS-6380 ver 2.0, NB=552BGA SB=376 BGA)

You also have 552 BGA northbridge, but is a VT8366 chipset.
You have 376 BGA southbridge VT8233 chipset

We have the same southbridge 376 BGA (VT8233 chipset), so let's look at the northbridge.

My northbridge is VT8366A and i have a Via KT266A chipset.
I think you have Via KT266 chipset
(Because you don't have the "A" in your VT8366, although it doesn't state it on the MSI website and is why i am not completely sure)

simple? lol

==============================================

You're good for all the Palominos with o/c to 164 FSB.
You can also run T-breds if you:
1. Update bios to 3.6 or 3.7 (or 3.74 beta)
2. Remove (C37) condensor from the motherboard
3. Unlock the chip (L3 #5) (If you want 12.5 and lower)

thanks for the reply, i havent bought it yet, and looks like i'm selling the cpu i was gonna use so i have no use for it now.

Hi guys.
BTank, I have a little problem here and you just put some light on it. A friend of mine have a MSI K7T 266Pro and can´t run a Tbred 1700. He have to remove a condensor from the motherboard?
The MSI site says this mobo can run a XP2600+, but my friend can´t. He already update the bios. Can u help us? Thanks

strange, I've got a K7T 266 Pro 2, and MSI states that it won't run higher than a 2100+ , so I think you may have been misled on that. I checked on that one fairly recently because I wanted to know if I could run a TbredB in it, but so far, the news is that I can't.

Only way a T-Bred can be run on Pro2
