Will the ASUS A7M266 support the XP1600?

[TUK101]

Looking at the ASUS A7M266 mobo and am wondering if it will support an Athlon XP1600 cpu. I already have the cpu and am looking at a board in the classifieds. Let me know, thanks.

Well, some digging at www.asus.com came up w/ this, and it says that the A7M266 doesn't support Athlon XP processors.

Sorry.

That's not right, the A7M266 support XP up to 2100+ .

The A7M266 was, if I remember correctly, the **second** DDR mobo available (next to the Iwill KA266).

You can try an XP but don't be surprised if it doesn't. That chart from the german Asus site makes it look like Palomino XP's are supported. If you already have this board I'd recommend flashing it up to the newest BIOS and maybe borrowing an XP CPU from a friend to test.

I already have an XP1600 to test in it, I was asking here just to check first. I am most likely going to get the board regardless and if the 1600 doesnt work it will be a descent board for a second sytem anyhow.
