K7t266 Pro2 And Pc2700 Ddr Ram?

Does anybody here know if a k7t266 pro2 mobo will support pc2700 ddr ram? COMPUSA Has a great deal on PNY right now--512mb pc2700 ddr for 50 bucks after rebates....As far as I have read, the documentation says pc1600 or pc2100. But we all know that rules are meant to be broken.......
Thanks for any help I receive!!!
My specs are in my signature!

You can use pc2700 ram but without any benefit against pc2100, speed will be the same.
Be aware that it's normally no good idea to mix different ram type, this can cause trouble.

K7T266 Pro2 and G4MX440-T incompatability

Hi, everyone i am using K7T266 Pro2 and G4MX440-T. The problem that i am facing is that my PC will always hang when i am surfing the net and listening to mp3 at the same time. The temperature at that time is about 54. I am using Windows XP Pro SP1 and Athlon XP 1700. Can someone please help me to rectify my problem ? I am really desperate.

What is actual problem with GF4MX cards? I have same MB and after updating videocard to GF4MX maybe 1/5 of boots fails (pc keeps beeping), only reset helps.
Is it problem with AGP volts or something like that?

Problems with K7t266 Pro2 and Soundblaster live 5.1

Hi all,
having a bit of a problem here with the above combination K7T266 pro2 and SB live5.1.
When playing music, watching video etc. every now and then I get something that sounds like bus noise, just for a few seconds and then the music continues, sometimes it also happens that video stops during the few seconds.
I have latest bios on mainboard, latest drivers for SB live, Via chipset, latest GPU drivers.
I tried changing IRQ's, took all other cards out, etc.
Nothing seems to work and it is getting very annoying. :( :(
Anyone any tips or tricks??
Thanx

K7t266 Pro2 and no sound

When I go to load the audio drivers I get a message saying:
"VIA Audio Chipset is not enbabled on this system! Please enable it first in Bios."
After checking Bios it is already enabled but yet not listed under the Device Manager in Windows.
I have re-installed the OS ( Win98SE ) 3 times now per VIA FAQ and still not recognized.
Any help and/or suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

Mike:
Maybe you are trying to install the 74mu170a or the new ComboAudio_a1u300a.
The last audio driver from VIA that works on this board is 74mu160a, VIA says it is due to new Microsoft Certification requirements.
Hope it helps, Regards Gustavo.-

MS 6787 v2 and pc2700 ddr 333

help me please !!! canI use pc2700 DDR 333MHZ sticks in my mobo ? ms 6787 v2
and if so, what settings do i need 2 apply ??

You have to try to findout. Most probably should work, but with reduced 266 memory Frequency.(PC2100)
"what settings do i need 2 apply ??"
Just leave settings to Auto, if those sticks are properly SPD programmed they shall be configured automatically to correct settings.

PT880 and PC2700 (333) RAM

Hello All,
just bought a PT880 Neo and have just a question about the RAMs. I will add a P4 with 400 FSB. As i can see on page 2-3 in the manual, FSB 400 and DDR 333 is not available. Does that mean, the Memory is not working at all, or is it working but only on DDR 266 speed ?
Thanks
Bruno

I have tried it and it does work. the memory just slows down. It is very similar to adding PC2700 in a board that only supports 2100

K7T266 Pro2 and ATI Radeon 7500?

Ok, first off, I have been in the technical field for about 12 years, so there is no need to "dumb down" your responses...
All right. I've got the above board, and it has been working fine up until I bought a new ATI Radeon 7500 vid card. I shut down the computer, disconnected the power supply, and removed my old vid card (which, btw, was working fine, but it was an 8MB old card). Then I installed the new vid card and restarted the computer. At this point, it promptly refused to even post. The monitor light flashed as if it were in standby, and there were no sounds from the board. Everything is still recieving power, so that's not the problem. The "D-bracket" showed 1-Red, 2-Green, 3 and 4-Red. Now this says that there is something wrong with the memory (?). Switched RAM chips, then the d-bracket shows all red = CPU problems? So, I shut it down and waited for a bit. Restarted it again, and the same lighting on the d-bracket, with 1,3,4-Red, and 2-Green. Now the motherboard repeatedly emits 3 fast beeps, then a pause, then 3 fast beeps, etc.. So, I put in the old video card, and the same thing occurred, in a RANDOM order. So, keeping in mind that NOTHING other than the vid card was removed OR touched before the problem occurred. RANDOM errors are NOT the way to run technical items. RANDOM problems are meant for EXPERIMENTAL items...
I would really hate to have to send in my motherboard to MSI to get it fixed (on warranty), because my business RELIES on my ability to access my computer, and 3 months computer-less is unacceptable. If there is not some LOGICAL thing that may be wrong, I will have to simply go out and buy another new motherboard. Unfortunate as it is, I am afraid that it will NOT be an MSI, because all I have ever had is problems with this board, and the lack of technical support is a real problem.
Any ideas will be tried, and I will post results as soon as I see the suggestion. Thanks.

well if you can and I know I would take the ATI card back and get a refund and by a nvidia I got a $250 ATI AIW setting on my file cabnet as a paper wait
one other thing you could try if you have one a old PCI video card remove the ATi card put a PCi video card in and try to boot useing it if that works go into bios setup and under advanced chipset settings make sure all the agp settings are set to auto I know I had this problem before I had the AGP driver setting set manule to a setting that would not work with my video card and clearing cmos would not reset this setting to auto.
I had to use a old pci card to boot so I could reset this to auto.

MSI K7T266Pro2 and PC2700 DDR

I plan to assemble a system with the K7T266Pro2 (MS-6380 version 2.0) with Samsung PC2700 256MB module. Will this DDR work with the KT266A chipset on this mobo?
Thanks for a reply.

it should work without any issues, it's the same as PC2100, only spec'ed to run faster. Same as installing PC133 in a PC100 motherboard.

Installedl pc2700 ddr but read pc3200

Hi, I' m using
Model Name: PowerBook G4 15"
Model Identifier: PowerBook5,6
Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (1.2)
Processor Speed: 1.67 GHz
I have 512mb ram that come with powerbook and I just installed 1G pc2700 ddr ram.
Now in "About this Mac:" it reads 1.5 gb memory but the memory seems to display a different speed
Size: 512 MB
Type: DDR SDRAM
Speed: PC2700U-25330
Status: OK
and
Size: 1 GB
Type: DDR SDRAM
Speed: PC3200U-30330
Status: OK
I ran a hardware test and the memory passed. I just wonder why would it display differently when I got the right part, I use OWC memery. And will there be any problem?
thank you

All DDR RAM is multi-speed, capable of running both faster and slower than it is designated so this will not be a problem at all.
Also note that the latency on the new stick is different but the RAM running speed is reported as the same.
DDR latency is less critical than older RAM types as it also adjusts to the bus speed, the given rating is at the speed of the stick at it's original rating not at its current speed so, although your CL3 RAM is theorectically slower at PC3200 it will actually be running at a rated CL2.5 at PC2700 speeds.
In essence, ignoring the techie bits, you'll be fine!

Does K7T266 Pro2 support XP1800+ 0.13 um?

Hi,
Does K7T266 Pro2 support XP1800+ toroughbread 0.13 um without any mod?
Thank you all

G'day!
By no means, an expert,but you have to adjust your
v-core voltage to use a 0.13um Tbred on K7T266 Pro2 and
that means removing c37 and updating BIOS.
Have fun reading that enormous thread that BAS started!!!!

K7T266 Pro2

Hello
Does anyone know what is the difference between the "K7T266 Pro2 MS-6380 v1.x" and "K7T266 Pro2 MS-6380 v2.x" ?
I recently bought a K7T266 Pro2 and I didn't seen it's a 6380 v1.0
I could'nt found information about this motherboard on the site.
Thanks for your help

Hi,
They are mostly the same, except the K7T266pro can have problems with the USB ports, and thats fixed on the pro2....
You better bring it back as you odered the pro2....and they should sell you that....

Questions on Flashing Bios for K7T266-Pro2

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade bios for my old K7T266-Pro2 and downloaded the file "6380V37"
It includes kind instructions for flashing the bios but still I want to make sure something.
1. Currently my OS is windows 2000 in NTFS file system. Do I choose the procedure for AMI Bios or Non-FAT file system?
2. For AMI case, it requires a booting diskette from win98 or win me. Can I use a booting diskette from windows xp? It is hard to find a system with win98 or win me around me.
3. For Non-FAT file system case, I don't have a startup diskette from win 98 or win me. It says a plain boot diskette is not enough. How can I make the startup diskette from win 98 or win me?
Any advice will be appreciated!

You are welcome so far!
This is among other things said in the link I supplied:
"5. Boot the computer using a windows ME or windows 98 startup disk. It must be one of these! A plain boot disk will not be good enough.
If you do not have Windows ME or 98 to create the floppy you can make one on a friend's computer or download a self creating copy from a website such as www.bootdisk.com. "
To be frank, I don't think you should update, as it wont help. I'm not enough of a messerschmitt to know how to get the support for that processor, I'm afraid. But hopefully some who are good at over-clocking will come along to give the right advice. Perhaps there is a trick to fool a pin or two. If you can get your hands on a K7N2 Delta your processor is supported. It should be really cheap by now, but you will probably need a better PSU than what you have now, and the PSU should have a 4 pin 12 volt connection.

Random Clicks and Beeps K7T266 Pro2

For a long while now I have had a small issue with my K7T266 Pro2 motherboard. Every know and than for whatever reason (never have been able to figure it out) my motherboad will click and than I will get a beep from my PC's internal speaker.
I have had this problem soo long I couldn't even tell you when it started or what the situation was when it first started to happen. I have finally decided to see anyone on these forums can help me out.
Here are my system specs.
400 watt power supply
AMD 1700+ xp
Kingston 266mhz DDR ram 2 sticks of 256 megs
Geforce 4 ti 4200 (agp slot of course)
Sound Blaster Audigy sound card
Network card
Ati Tv-wonder (pci) card (it is just a tv tuner not another video card)
DVD rom (ide2 master)
CDRW (ide2 slave)
40gig IBM 7200rpm hard drive (ide1 master)
40gig Seagate 7200rpm hard drive (ide1 slave)
A: drive as well.
Now the above is what my current set up is for the computer. The main components Cpu and Memory have not changed, the sound card and the DVD rom and CDRW have not changed either since I started using the current Motherboard. Everything else has changed a bit over the last couple of years but I still get the same click and beep every now and than no matter what I have changed out. Last year I even got a new box for the comp with a 400 watt power supply and still it happens.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try remove one of the ram and see if it boot. If it doesn't boot, replace the other with the one that was removed.
If it boot with one ram, then one of the ram is bad.
If both ram will boot by itself, then try lower the memory setting in the bios.
