Comment: I want to upgrade my CPU from an AMD Athlon 850Mhz 200FSB, Socket A at 133Mhz, on an ASUS A7V-VM Rev 2.02MOtherboard, Chipset: Via KT133. It has a Tahiti-ULA Software Build ID 11NABHPZ04 Date: 19-Jan-01 BIOS In a HP Pavilion xl844. 185 Watt Power Supply. I cannot find if this is upgradable anywhere(HP, ASUS) There is no range information to go by. Would it be possible to go to a 1 GB or 1.2, if so which and do I need a different cooling fan? Thanks in advance.
Ty

Reply: (edit)Your 185W power supply is inadequate. An upgrade would most likely fail due to not enough power. 250-300W minimum is recommended.

Reply: (edit)On a similar note, I have the same board, with an AMD Athlon 1.3gHz processor. Can I just plug in a 1.7 or 1.8 as an upgrade or is there more work involved?

Reply: (edit)I have a HP 8760 with the 1 GHz Athlon, on the Asus A7V-VM motherboard with Via Kt-133 chipset.
The only problem I have, is when I´m gaming, I have A bluescreen.
It says it is the display driver that causes the bluescreen. I have a GeForce3 Ti-200 with the latest driver from Nvidia.
Is there any one who knows what to do???
I have heard that it is the chipset that causes the problem, but I do not know...
Please HELP Me!

Reply: (edit)The Delta DPS-160GB-B at 185w can be replaced from HP. But it is an ATX power supply, so why not upgrade like to an Antec 250w (PP253X $35-40) or 300x (PP303X $45-50). These or similar are at stores like PCConnection, Insight, Outpost or CompUSA.

Reply: (edit)I just picked up an HP with this mobo at Sam's for $500(customer return). It came with an Athlon XP 1600+ (1.4 GHz). So I would say it's fairly upgradeable with a larger power supply. Hope that helps :)

Reply: (edit)I've just bought this motherboard and an Athlon 900MHz processor from a local computer fair for £63GBP($100US approx). Problem is I've no manual and no connector for what looks like the onboard conexant modem daughterboard. I'm using my old PCI modem to send this mail. Does anyone have a manual in electronic format that they could send me? I'd also like to upgrade the bios so if you know where I can get the latest bios I'd appreciate it. I tried the HP site but could not find any reference to this motherboard.

Reply: (edit)I got this Tahiti Board(Asus A7V-VM) with a 1.2 Athlon in it. It's an HP Pavilion xl876. I have already upgraded the power supply to 300 watts cause 185 is a joke. I however am getting CMOS checksum errors even though I just replaced the battery. Th epower supply is not causing this because my checksum errors started before I upgraded the power supply. I am wondering how far I can actually upgrade this AMD processor to....

Reply: (edit)any of you guys claiming to be running
xp cpu's on this board are crack heads!
the board has a 200Mhz front side bus.
xp cpu's use a 266Mhz front side bus.
you CAN install an xp cpu, and it WILL boot
up and run normally.
BUT, lets say you have a 1600+xp cpu.
they run at 1.4Ghz.
now, lets say you install this cpu
on this board.
since the CPU multiplier is set to 10.5
and the front side bus is only 200.
YOU WONT GET OVER 1Ghz.
the cpu will run only at 1Ghz.
you went out and spent $300 on an xp 2000+?
now your cpu only runs 1.35Ghz
get a clue kids!
