I just joined up to the forums...primarily to post information to those who own the ASUS A7M266 (non-dual cpu) motherboard and wish to have the AMD 2200+ xp processor. It took some doing but I just got it running today...without too much hassle. But since I went round and round...I thought I would place the info out there for others.
First, e-mail ASUS at their website www.asus.com.tw and request the latest beta version BIOS 1008a266.02b.
Then flash the BIOS using the ASUS aflash utility (info on how to flash the BIOS can be found at the site)
After flashing the BIOS, replace the old cpu with the 2200+ and appropriate heatsink (various heatsinks are recommended for the 2200)
Then, you must set the following jumpers on the motherboard (See your motherboard manual):
1) Set the jumper JEN to 'jumper mode' JEN: 1-2
2) set the DIP switches- DSCKF to 133MHz 1: On , 2: On , 3: On , 4: Off
3) set the VID jumpers to 1.8V VID1: 2-3 , VID2: 1-2, VID3: 1-2, VID4: 1-2
Then start the system....the first cpu I got was a dud, and did not post. The second did....
Once you have started the system, go into the BIOS and go to Advanced. There, make sure the frequency is set at 133...it should do this automatically. Then, IMPORTANTLY, go to Chip Configuration and set the S2K Slew Rate to "1"
Before all this make sure you have at least a 300-350 Watt power supply...that 2200 is a hog!
This worked perfect for me...my computer is flying!!!....but since we are in such a litigious society, let me say that this is not expert advice, and if your computer blows up and kills your dog, don't blame me. I recommend newbies to do their homework first.
I hope this helps at least one person out there so they don't spend as much time as I did. Let me know if this helps!
