No mate, as I said, the board physically won't work with that CPU. There have been many attempts at making them work on pre 1.3 boards, but no successful ones that I have heard of. I was meaning for you to get a 1.4 Athlon working on your current board.

LOL at Nick
I know mate
Also as funny as when I built a machine for someone and then because his CPU wouldn't run stable at 1900 but would at 1600 (it was a xp 1900) I told him it was a heat issue..
SO what does he do........
He lets his friend (five fingers) take off his fan (off his cpu) whilst the machine is on!!!!!! using a screw driver to remove the fan !!!!!!! hahahaha at this point I am pissing myself when he told me this.....
His friends idea was, with the fan off the cpu, if the cpu got hot really quicky then it must be a heat issue WTF ...........................
Anyway do I need to tell you what happened next .........pop......... all went dead...........NEW motherboard and CPU ......................hahahahahehehhehehe

Yes mate, saw you last time with what was left of the old scoob before she got shunted.... Nice vids of your car by the way
Mine new one is at PE on monday for a whole lodda of servicing and modding
Haven't seen Yourself or Mr Lawson for too long now...... Now that summer is coming in we will surely meet up. Shame that the playing fields is gone now
. I take it that Bentley and the usuals will be happening this year though
And there was I thinking that you were questioning my PC building skills....
Pete is bring all of his new kit over this weekend for me to build up yet another machine for him and bring over my Ti4600
He is having my Ti500, so he is a happy little(large) chappy.
Catch you later matey.
Cheers,
Nick
P.S. Dan, I forgot to mention that I have sent you the email I promised with basic instructions. Remember to note down any custom BIOS settings tht you have, such as IRQ's, AGP multiplier etc, as the BIOS upgrade usually resets them.

The above prety explains why you really can't use a XP/MP cpu on the pre 1.3 revision boards.

Nick - forgive my ignorance, but you state in your email about updating the driver for highpoint. Is this to do with the RAID?
If so, as I'm not actually using RAID yet, do I still need to update?
Also, the bios folder - where's this?
again, my aplogies for being sooooooo thick!!!!

Thank **** for that!
Got me all worried after you disappeared off yesterday!
You will probably be alright if your main hard drive is not actually on the either of the RAID controller's channels, but you really should update them first as a precaution. If you do have your boot drive on one of the RAID channels, then updating the drivers prior to flashing is an absolute must, as I mentioned why in my email. As I said, make ABSOLUTELY SURE that the new drivers install and 2k doesn't find 'a more suitable driver' in it's driver cache. Easiest way is to device manager, right click on the highpoint controller, properties, driver and update driver, don't search for the driver, select display a list. Select show all hardware then have disk. Find the new drivers and make sure that you have and select them agree to the digtial signiture malarkey and install them. Once installed. don't say yes to reboot. Go back into the properties and look at the driver revision. The provider should be Highpoint and the revision should be some thing like 2.31.0.0.
That's it. Read the redma for the bios loader anyway and remember everything that I mailed you about and it will be a smooth job.

Nick

What I meant by the Bios folder was the the folder named kt7ncombo that I included in the zipfile that I sent you
As in copy all of the contents of that folder onto the root of the floopy that you have previously formatted/bootdisked with that Dr Dos bootdisk wizard that I also sent you. The 2.31.0.0 highpoint drivers are also in the zip file, as you probably noticed.
You completely happy with doing this yourself??
If in ANY DOUBT WHATSOEVER, get someone used to this to come over and run through it with you.
I can catogorically state that in my 15-odd flashes of KT7 series boards, I have experienced FAILURE once, from a bad bios update, which I recovered from by hot swapping out a good BIOS chip after boot and reflashing the corrupted one
The package that I have sent you are the exact same files that I have used for the latest 7n bios update with Highpoint 2.31 BIOS custom embedded, which I have flashed onto both a KT7RAID and a KT7ARAID without problem. I am typing this out on one of them
The instructions are exactly as I flash these too
As with any BIOS update when you are alien to them, hope for the best, but brace yourselfe for the worst.
Reckon that there is absolutely no chance of failure, just follow the instructions precisely and be patient and all will turn out right
Cheers and have fun
