I built a system a little over 3 years ago for my mom with this mobo and a 1.5GHz P4 (Willamette I think?). It also has Samsung 800MHz 256MB RDRam.
She is considering upgrading the cpu and adding another 256MB to get a bit more lifespan from it.
From the bios release notes, it seems it'll only go to 2.4GHz 100x24. However, it sounds like it can run @133/533FSB without problems? If I got a 2.8B Prescott @533, would this work flawlessly? Or will it be hit or miss or possibly unstable? It's not worth it if it means the comp won't be rock solid. Can the AGP and PCI stay at 66/33 with a 133/533 FSB? Any other issues to consider?
Thanks for any feedback!
Also, when I looked at zipzoomfly for memory, they had 16-bit and 32-bit 800MHz rambus memory in 256MB sizes. What's the diff and how do I determine which is in there currently?
Thanks!
