Does the KT4 Ultra Support Sempron CPU's ?

Does the KT4 Ultra support Sempron CPU's ? The CPU support page doesnt seem to mention this motherboard....
If it does what BIOS rev do I need ?
If it doesnt what will MSI add it, as I see that the KT4V does support the Sempron ?
Thanks.

Sorry, above should read as follows :

KT4 Ultra-BSR multipler & CPU volts on XP2400 dont work!

Well after several atempts and clearing the cmos several times the multipler dosnt work on XP2400 and when you go to change the cpu voltage from auto it comes up with strange symbols not a voltage to select! so iam stuck at 141fsb and CPU voltage set to auto i can change the FSB only except lower or to 141, why is it asus and epox can change the multipler and we cant on our MSI KT4 Ultra, iam disapointed and who wouldnt be after all others can change there multipler!
any surgestions would be welcome and i think MSI should address this problem with a bios update and also look at the voltages for CPU as symbols mean nothing to me! ?(

Oops, I meant how did you connect the module to the motherboard?? I can't find anyway in which to connect it directly into the mobo, and I didn't get a cable with mine. (I still haven't got to the software side of it yet - the hardware has been my prob for the past few weeks, no-one seems to be able to answer me).
Hope you can tell me how to do it (pref with some pics or something coz I'm starting to think my retailer sent me the wrong board).
Thanks!

KT4 Ultra & XP 2800 CPU

I currently have a KT4 ultra board with Crucial Pc2700 DDR Ram (running at 333mhz) current fsb 146Mhz. I am wanting to upgrade the CPU to an XP2800.
Does anyone have one running at 333mhz on this board?
Is it stable?
Is it fast?
Comments welcome

Satellite L550-11K - Device manager shows wrong CPU

I have bought the Satellite L550-11K to myself and because stan it has a p8700 processor with 2.53 GHz. However, in the device manager it stands 2 times a T4200 processor with 2 GHz!!!?

Hey,
I had the same issue that the CPU in my desktop computer wasnt listed properly so I have removed the CPU from device manager (right click > uninstall) and restart the notebook. You have to remove both entries.
After restarting the CPU will be recognized again and this time it should be listed properly. For me it worked. :)
Another question, are you running the preinstalled OS or have you installed another OS?

KT4A-V showing wrong CPU Speed

Hi,
I have just installed my motherboard and updated the BIOS using live update and my Athlon 3000+ is showing up as a 2200+. Any ideas on what I might be able to try? I'd really appreciate them.
Garry

Thank you everyone that responded. I'm sorry, I left out that I have reset the BUS speed to 166. When I start the computer up, Windows loads fine, but then restarts. The cycle continues like this until I lower the BUS speed to 133. I am using 2 modules of Crucial PC2700 DDR too. I appreciate your guidence here.
Thanks!

KT4 Ultra Bios 1.2 Doesnt Work

I have just updated my Bios to verison 1.2 and the computer wont go into windows.
Infact I have found the problem to be the USB Via chipset thats at fault. I have Windows Me and the the computer freezes every time it tries to load USB.
I have put version 1.1 back on an no problems.
I have reloaded windows and the following error appears.
Windows has had to disable the USB function due to a internal problem.
I try to reload the drivers and it freezes.
I have just spent 8 hours to find the problem was the usb chipset.
Does anyone else have the problem ??
Thanks

I am running a KT4 Ultra with XP2000 Cpu. I updated my bios from 1.1 to 1.2 over the weekend, and now my once stable system is giving me no end of problems.
1, It would not recognise my primary hard drive and I had to clear the bios with the jumper four time before it would let me boot up.
2, Once I booted up and ran 3dmark, it was okay the first time but the second time the machine crashed and totally corrupted my hard drive. I had to reformat my hard drive and load a backup (two weeks old).
3, I have now re-flashed my bios back to 1.1 but although the system is working I keep getting CRC errors when trying to backup my hard drive to my secondary drive. This did not happen before.
This 1.2 bios seems more like a rushed beta version than a real bios update, it has given me loads of problems and I now have a system which is still not working properly. Bios upgrades are supposed to fix problems not create them!!
I would NOT touch this 1.2 with a long barge pole !!!

I buy my PSUs at http://www.digitgate.com. They have two that are approved by AMD, a 340W for $24, and a 400W for $36. Specs on the 340W are:
3.3V @ 28A
5V @30A
12V @15A
285W max
I've been very happy with those PSUs. The company is located in El Monte, CA (in the Los Angeles metropolitan area), and they allow local pickup. Jerry is the sales guy, and Eddie runs the warehouse; feel free to tell them I referred you. I've been a happy customer of theirs since the 386DX40.

Reads from internal diode sensor on those AMD chips that have one. Otherwise it comes from a sensor on the circuit board under the socket-a.

Athlon XP 2400 shows as Duron 1400 on KT4 Ultra? - Help!!

Today (16th) I noticed the PC acting a little sluggish so I decided to check the system properties to see that my processor shows as a 1400 Duron when infact its an XP 2400. Since I only noticed it being slow today - i'm guessing something must have happened.
About 7/8 MS critical updates came today - so I installed them as I always do and I assumed since they are the only things I installed - one of the updates may have caused the issue so I removed them all. . still nothing. I then did a system restore to 2 days earlier on my system (Win XP Pro) and still it shows as a Duron 1400 both in Windows and the BIOS.
I havent changed anything in the BIOS for the last 6 months - I havent updated it either.
I have used several CPU identifying utilities - both AMD and independent - non of them see it as an Athlon XP 2400. I am the only person who uses this PC so nobody could have even swapped the processor or anything as I am pretty much around the PC the whole time (incase u were thinking that!!)
Does anyone know why my Athlon XP 2400 processor is showing up as a Duron 1400 all of a sudden when I havent made any major system changes? Is there an update/fix/patch I need to get to sort this out? Is it a common problem?
System Spec:
Athlon XP 2400
Motherboard - MSi 6590 (KT4 Ultra)
BIOS - AMI v 07.00T
Memory - DDR 512MB x2
Thanks for any help!

thanks for your help guys! I opened it up and saw some dust on the CPU block and fan - but nothing more than I have seen before - but I gave it a good clean anyhows... I also decided to replace the CMOS battery because even though it was showing a voltage in the BIOS, given that its the battery that came with the M/B when I first bought it 4 years ago - I thought it was time to change it.
After the clean and the battery replacement - the system was back showing "Athlon XP 2400" in both the BIOS and system settings so I'm guessing it was down to the CMOS battery. So thanks for the help! I'm glad to have it sorted now! I have however discovered the Northbridge fan is dead so I'm gonna still have to open it up in the next few days to replace that! If only that were as easy to find as a new battery was lol ...
thanks for your time!

MSI KT4 Ultra -- there is no 4 holes for CPU HSF

KT4 Ultra has taken off 4 holes for CPU HSF like Swiftech and Alpha and some watercooling heatsink. This is really too bad.

Can't say if your picture is wrong. But here is another series of pictures of this product at ocworkbench.com , lots and lots of pictures.

KT4 Ultra CPU Upgrade Question

I am trying to upgrade my CPU from a 2100 XP to a 2800 XP on my KT4 Ultra and am running into trouble. I was under the impression that all I had to do was turn up the FSB frequency in CMOS and everything would be OK howerver this doesn't appear to be the case. Currently the FSB Freq. is set to 100 and I can get it above 104 or the system will not POST. Has anyone out there put a 2800 with the latest BIOS in a KT4? What setting need to be changed and what values should be used in CMOS??
Help please!!!!

KT4 Ultra / Incorrect CPU report

Hey chaps, I have had a look around the MSI site and forum, but cant seem to see any suggestions of a resolution for this:
KT4 Ultra (BIOS A6590VMS.140)
512 DDR Ram
Was running very happily and reporting correct CPU speed for an XP1800+
Swapped CPU for a thoroughbred XP2600+, flashed BIOS to latest, set the BIOS settings to as directed in the CPU support table (FSB 133, ratio="auto"), and the CPU is reported as XP2000+
Any ideas chaps or are we looking at faulty CPU?

there is no 12v connector on the KT4 Ultra (well, not on mine at least!).
Oh! He he, sorry :D ! I had the KT6 from another thread in mind...

KT4 Ultra memory/cpu requirements

Does the kt4 ultra HAVE to have the "certified" ddr400 ram for it to work, or work faster?
Is the highest cpu possible a xp 2700+ to fit into the kt4 ultra?
i want to know, because iam builing a puter and i was going to get a 2500+, but if it only supports up to 2700+ i might as well get it.

Say I buy a athlon xp 2500+ barton right now, and then a couple years from now i want to upgrade, what if theres a 4000+, could I get that>? or would I have to get a whole new motherboard to upgrade my cpu, because it will only support up to 3000+?
Lets get real here please!!
Does anyone really know what cpus will be around in two years time. AMD can't even get their timetable sorted for the 64bit processors yet.
If it's a barton 4000 then it will probably run on your KT4 Ultra with a bios upgrade. Hammer CPUs will be on a totally different motherboard, and you can't buy one now!!
How much life do you really expect to get out of a motherboard, technology changes so fast that in two years time you will probably need a different type of memory, hard drive interface and graphics sub system.
The KT400 or Kt400a chipset gives you a good base for the forseeable future, for anything else it going to be a crystal ball job.
