Hi,

Hopefully a quick question here.
I've just put in a Sempron 3000+ in a MSI KT4V m/b with PC2700 333 RAM. I've set the speed to 166 and all seems well apart from in the control panel- system it only reports a 2800+ Sempron. Any ideas please. Bios is default settings apart from speed of 166.

Also is there any way of getting PC2100 266 RAM to run with the above setup, or must it be PC2700 333.

Thanks

Hi JJ,

Installed CPUZ as requested.

What I've got is:-

AMD 3000+ Socket A L2 512
Currently installed 512Mb PC2100 266 RAM
MSI MS6712 Ver1.0 Bios Version 7.00T(04/02/01)
MSI 8x AGP card

Also have tried the PC2700 333 RAM, thats where my original question came from about reporting 2800+ instead of 3000+.


I've also attached the CPUZ file that I get with the PC2100 266 RAM installed.

I shall try in the morning.

I've also just found on the MSI forum that there is a new bios available for the m/b (version 1.c) which specifically supports the 3000+ Sempron on the KT4V.
