AMD processor for MSI KT4Ultra

Hi,
Just wanted to get some information for upgrading my PC.
Right now I am using a AMD Athlon XP 1700+ on a MSI KT4Ultra motherboard (VIA KT400 chipset). I just want to upgrade to a faster processor. Any suggestions(with price) about compatible processors available in the market?
Thanks,
Saket

I guess you havent realised the hidden potential in your CPU.

hmm...if you have the right core, it can be oced by about 800MHz

AMD Athlon XP Cpu are very much heat generating i think so.
I use compaq laptop so cant tweak it much

hey, anyone can tell me how to over clock my 2600+ cpu! i i have used all the fsb to run it to its mentioned speed that is 2083Mhz.my board(a7v8x-mx)(asus) gives till 166Mhz.i got it using dsw switch on the board.but,no fsb left i think.
calculations,
[166Mhz*12.5(freq.multiple)]=2083mhz.

 

[sunmysore]

Are those stock speeds????? or do you have a 2000+????

try the "frequency/voltage" option in the BIOS, increase ur FSB there

 

[icecoolz]

2600+ Barton ? That cpu is unlocked. Anyways ur mobo is the bottle neck. It doesnt support fsb increases. So I dont think it will support much in terms of OCing. Also remem you can only do so much on stock cooling solutions else u will end up frying ur mobo and ur cpu.

Asus A7V8X-MX doesnt allow FSB tweaking from BIOS it has DIP switches.

 

[saROMan]

well my Bro has a AMD 2000+ XP @1250GHZ, Asus A7v266-MX mobo..but its FSB..Clock Multiplyer...etc features are disabled.....any idea how i can enable them to increse FSB ??

 

[icecoolz]

Sorry mate that board wont let u change the FSB and nothing can be done about it. Its a crappy board neways

It was sumthing unbelieveable. wow the processor shud take part in high jumping

 

[abhi_shake]

How do you increase the FSB in the BIos?? I searched and searched for it and could not find it anywhere!!

 

[indro]

You will find the settings in the BIOS multiplier settings , its quite easy to find it in the MSI motherboards , But everything is BIOS dependent.

[bharathbala2003]

ok ill be frank.. i haven tried OCing till now.. i have a PIV 1.5 GHZ,, fresh diagnoise showed that my processer is running at 1503 Mhz... i would like to over clock it.. also it says multiplier supported are 13.0x,14.0x....,24.0x

till how much can i over clock it.. i have MS-6529 Mobo (from MSI) and 256 MBram.. can sum1 help me over clock my cpu..

 

[bharathbala2003]

guys more than 2 days since i asked ur help.. sum1 help na.. i dunno how to overclock it.. plz help..
