    New CPU with old MB

    Is there a way to have a 3200+ XP running stable with an ASUS A7N266-C?

    Unless they have revised the bios I think the highest it will go is the 2600+.

    That's what it says on their website. Actually i have both running at the moment, but the 3200+ is being recognized as 1700+, and i get random blue screen freezes. Apparently it is not stable, is there a way to make it?

    I think it's just that your board doesn't support bartons.

    I'll swap it for my 1.1 Duron if you like, overclocks to 1.3!

    I rather swap the motherboard with something else :P Can anyone tell me the cheapest one that will support that 3200+?
