What CPU can I get??

I currently have a K7T266 Pro2 Ver. 2.0, with BIOS 3.3 and my system is rock stable.  I want to upgrade to at least an AthlonXP 2100+ but am wondering if this is possible with the current MB and BIOS?
Also, how much more heat does a 2100 create compared to a 1600.  I currently have a Thermaltake Volcano 6cu+ Heatsink and my CPU idles at around 45C and gets up to around 52C.  I am comfortable with these current temps but don't want to get much higher.  Any heatsink suggestions to keep it cool?

Hey there,
Well it says under the product information that this
board can support up to a 2200+ XP but like you said
that is usually with a BIOS update.  When you updated
did you check to see if the update would allow for
compatibility of the 2100 XP.  Under the bios updates for
your board on this site it will tell you what revisions the
BIOS make. I would suggest doing some homework and
checking...it will make it easier on you.  About the
HSF the Ax-7 with Mechatronics is a good trade off
for cooling vs. noise.
Hope that helps

  • What cpu can i get for my pc

    i want a good cpu around 50-60 dollars like intel or amd my computer is a hp pavilion p6 2310

    JK144, welcome to the forum.
    Here are the processors that are supported by HP and the motherboard:
    65W to 100W (processor dependent)
    Socket type: FM1
    Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades:
    Processor TDP
    AMD A8-3xxx (Liano) quad core
    65W to 100W
    AMD A6-3xxx (Liano) quad core
    65W to 100W
    AMD A4-3xxx (Liano) dual core
    65W
    AMD E2-3200 (Liano) dual core
    65W
    AMD X4-631 (Athlon) quad core
    65W
    Any of them in the chart will work.  The processor that I highlighted is the one currently in the computer.  It is 2.8 GHz.  Those above it are all quad core.  This will make them faster.  I am not certain that you will find one in the price range that you mentioned.

    Sounds like you actually have a 1st generation as those cannot update beyond iOS 3.1.3.

    Dell has some really great drivers -- for Windows and Linux. But none for any version of Mac OS X.
    LinuxPrinting.org does not llist that as a printer supported by any of their drivers -- not even badly supported.

  • What app can I get to to turn a sound clip of my grand-nephew into a ringtone?

    What app can I get to to turn a sound clip of my grand-nephew into a ringtone?

    QuickTime, GarageBand, iTunes, Audacity, and VLC can all do this. Actually, iMovie and FinalCut can too...
    Open your audio clip in the desired program and trim id down to the segment you want to use as a ringtone (iTunes can do the conversion, but it can't modify/trim the audio).
    Once you have the piece of the audio you want to use, save the audio file as MPEG4 audio (AAC) and use the file suffix ".m4r" instead of ".m4a" or ".mov".
    Drag the m4r file onto the iTunes icon in the dock or Applications folder and it will be added to iTunes as a ringtone (which you can add to your phone).
    If you use iTunes to convert the audio to AAC format, drag the sound out of iTunes and replace the file name suffix (.m4a) with ".m4r" and drag it back in.
    That's it.

    Hi, I have a HP Pavilion tx2500 Notebook PC with AMD Turion X2 Ultra ZM-80 processor and a updated 6.0 RAM. I read on the manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03182899.pdf (on page 70) about all the types of processors that I can use.
    Since then, the ZM - 87 and ZM - 88 came out. So can I upgrade to 87 or 88?
    Also, am I limited to only AMD Turion processors? Can I upgrade to the new AMD Phenom™ II Processors ?
    Can I also change from duel-core to quad? or even X6?
    Lastly can i upgrade from 32-bit and 64-bit Window? 
    Overall, I just want to upgrade to the highest cpu processor as possible.

  • What app can i get to start my car

    Can I get an app to start my Mazda 2009 and open my garage?

    There are a few apps in the app store that offer this functionality, but all require a corresponding security system be installed on your vehicle. Do a search for "Remote Start". Same thing for your garage door, do a search: "Garage Door".

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can install all apps compatible with iOS 4.2.1, but most of the apps need iOS 4.3, so there aren't a lot of apps that you can use on the device

  • What software can I get on my Macbook Pro that will be ideal for 3D movie making?

    Im looking to make my own 3D animations and turn them into a mini series.
    I don't want to use other games as a platform.
    I guess i would like to start off from scratch, create my own people, space ships, uniforms, planetary terrain etc...
    If anyone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

    The Apple Hardware Test is all that Apple makes available.  There are third-party programs you can purchase and use, such as Disk Warrior to examine the status of the hard drive.  DW is pretty decent from my experience, but when you get into the latest of the Mac OS X versions there is so much optimization already being done by the operating system you do not necessarily gain a great deal with it.  I still keep it around, though.

    I bought from Aldi 4 years ago
    Aldi? that means it was included in a Medion pc? Then it's an oem board. The boards MSI (and the forum) directly supports are retail boards. If your board is from an oem pc no of the boards listed before are your board. That means could be you brick the board by flashing a bios from a retail board.
    Speed difference would be minimal anyway. Core2 are outdated. The time of dual core is almost over. If you have to buy the cpu I'd rather save for a new board and cpu.
