I just purchased a MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR motherboard to replace my Aging KG7-RAID, and i have a few questions. I have read that the Nforce2 nativly unlocks multpliers--i have an Athlon XP 1600+ (Palomino core with a good stepping -- haven't seen the CPU in over a year--forget what it is at the moment), will the Nforce 2 unlock the CPU for me or will I have to do it manually before i place it into the board?
Also, i have 2x256 of Crucial PC2100 (I haven't had many problems running it at 155mhz+--i believe i can't get higher cuz of my PCI bus being overclocked), woudl i be able to drop a "barton" 333mhz FSB processor in here and still run my memory at 266mhz (or slightly overclocked, but not quite 333?)
THanks,
Hess
