Hi

Just put together an ASUS A7M266-D mobo with two brand new MP 2800+'s.

CPU Z reports that both CPUs are MP2800+'s

I'm very new to this so please be as obvious as possible! /wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' />

I'v set the board to "jumpfree". I'm not sure if this means bois controls ALL variable or just the FSB.....?

I flashed the bios to 1011.003 because I was getting the cpu0/1 is mp incapable. Also turned off that check. /wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' />

On boot screen with FSB at 100Mhz both CPU's show as 1600.

When I increase the FSB to 119Mhz (anything betwwen 120 and 130 doesn't post. Haven't at time to do each increment up to ~180) the CPUs display as 22xx (Sorry I don't have the exact figures because I'm at work).

From memory I believe the the v core is 1.6.

I don't know how or what I need to do to get my box to recognise that the CPUs are 2800+.

Is the voltage too low or something? If so then how do I change it etc......?

Any help would rock...........!

The MP procs need to be at a fsb of either 133 or 166, effectively 266 or 333 mhz. I dont know which one it is for sure though.

What is the other option(s) besides "jumpfree"?

Could start by listing your full system specs.

Whats the true capacity of your power supply? What I mean by that is not whats written on the side like "400W" I mean what are the amperage (A) specs for each voltage on the side of the power supply for:
3.3V = ?A
+5V =?A
+12V =?A
+5VSB =?A

Also a lot of the older dual socket A boards were also affected by bad caps like the single socket A boards. So have a good look at all the capacitors on the mainboard and verify they look okay.

Asus wasn't immune to this... I'm trying to find replacement caps for my A7M266-D as we speak.... that's how I found this thread. /sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' />
