I posted at Motheboards, but no replys so maybe the wrong place or wrong site even? Any info you can give please, I'm googled out, thanks.
I have a system that has an ABIT KT7-A non RAID MB with a Duron 750MHz CPU, a friend of mine did an upgrade and gave me his AMD Athlon 2000 CPU.
The info from the black sticker on the CPU is this:
AMD Athlon
AXDA2000DUT3C Z332734271667
KIXHB 0337WPMW 1999 AMD
And a white sticker:
CR17X3OR-32195
Belarc Advisor gives me this info on the MB and BIOS:
Main Circuit Board
Board 8363-686A
Bus Clock 100MHz
Bios Award 6.00PG 8-24-01
750MHz Duron AMD
System Model
VIA VT8363
What I would like to know is if I can install the 2000 chip into this MB?
I did some reading here at OC and see people have put up to 2500 AMD into this board, but I'm not real up on what will and will not work and feel most here are up to speed on this swapping stuff. If it will work could someone point me to what settings will need to be set in the soft BIOS to run this chip please? I'm not wanting to overclock this, because I would like the system to be dependable and be able to run 24/7 without sudden restarts or whatever.
I have a Copper Orb Heatsink on the 750 now and would use it if it will do ok.
Any page's/links you could direct me to would be good, not looking for spoonfeeding, but I don't want to hose a good working system that I do have right now. Please no telling me to buy another MB, because I just went through a divorce and money is tight and I'll just box and store the CPU for another time if it will not work. Thanks for reading and putting up with my extream newbe mind.
