Soyo K7V Dragon

[rodent]

I have the SOYO K7V Dragon. On its product page it says "Supports AMD Socket-A type Processors (including Duron & Athlon & XP CPUs) up to 1700+ MHz".

Does this mean I can only put a maximum of an Athlon XP 1700+, or can I put the latest and greatest XP in, like the 2200?

Thanks.

If yopu upgrade the BIOS you can go higher.

Now you can get it up to 2100 (see the new posting at the same link). I hope this isn't the limit. Anybody know if there are any plans on going any higher for these older (lol) boards.

Nah, that's for the Dragon Plus, I only have the Dragon. The Dragon plus is the one that comes with the card reader, right? I don't have that one.

Plus or not, i think BIOS options won't change much.

It should support upto 2100+ minimum.

2200+ is thoroughbred A and 2400 and 2600+ are thoroughbred B. It is to be seen whether the older boards will support these. I think they should and updated Bioses will be provided by the manufacturers.

As to the Barton, I guess only the KT333 and higher boards will support them.
