Comment: I plan on upgrading my AthlonXP2100 to an AthlonXP3200-Barton. I have an Asus A7v333 motherboard. So I was wondering if there is anything I need to do before I take the old cpu out, like with the bios or uninstall anything. Also, after I put the xp3200 in will it boot to the bios? Finally do I need to change my memory (pc2700 ddr) Thanks for responding.

Reply: (edit)well before you buy anything check your board specs out on asus site.
http://usa.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?langs=09&m=A7V333 the a7v333 only supports 266fsb. so putting a barton 3200 with a 400fsb wont work. you would need an nforce2 board or something like an a7v600 ... as well you would definitly need ddr 400 (pc 3200 ddr) not pc2700 for this chip you may want to look at some other upgrade optoins like an Athlon XP 2600+(266FSB)(Model 8)(Thoroughbred) i believe that's the highest amd with 266 fsb ... now if you want to overclock look into the 1700+ thoroughbred

Reply: (edit)That 2100+ will oc too. There's a discussion with the 2000+ here: http://www.asusboards.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=26099 Buying a 3200+ will help AMD's bottom line though and they could use the help.
