Hi

I have 2 comps
K7S5A with AMD Duron 1Ghz
Asus A7V8X with AMD XP2000

i want to put the XP2000 into the K7S5A, is this possible?

if so, then i would like to upgrade the Asus comp to a faster CPU (recommendations?)

thanks for your time freak:

(p.s. yes, i did post on Hard Forums, but they have been really slow to reply, go figure)

I'm a lil confused. You'll need to know if the K7S5A (motherboard i assume) will support the 2000XP. If you're not sure, check the motherboard manual or website. You might be better off waiting since any AMD processor faster than the 2000XP might not be fast enough for you to notice. Right now, AMD is having a hard time getting their processors past the 333MHz bus whereas Intel processors are running a FSB (Front Side Bus) of 533MHz.
I like both AMD and Intel and bounce between the two but it looks like my next upgrade is gonna be with the faster Intel.

hmm... good point there Arkan.

Well, I can wait for a while to upgrade the CPU.... but then I'd waste my XP2000 haha oOo:

That's why i want to put it on the other mobo. But the manual isn't very helpful in regards to this matter. Either that or I don't understand the manual! haha eek:

thanks for your reply freak: I appreciate it
