| 226973 | 2004-04-05 08:58:00 | For whats its worth i dropped a 2400+ into an epox board with the above mentioned chipset,it worked but indientified the cpu as unknown. and when i say it worked.......it didnt run good enough to call it a success,i removed the 2400+ and used a 1700+ instead. Still chugging along. |

My motherboard is the KT133A version. ;) I guess we'll find out if its a success in the next few days! Thanks for all the input everyone :) |
