Hello!

I got this kt333 mobo for my voodoo5 6000 system.
Unfortunately the mobo refuse to start with my athlon xp m 2800 when the fsb is set to 166 in bios.
With the fsb setted to 133 is running well.
The bios is F8B, the latest one.
Is there a trick to run the board @166mhz fsb?
On the x86.secrets site there is a test with a barton 2800 and voodoo5 6000. And they are working good together.
Any advice would be great!
Thanks.
Follow your dreams !

Hello, I am not an expert, but
I read that ATHLON XP M 2800  were Core Barton, but Fsb always @266

Maybe fsb 333 the AMD Mobile Athlon XP-M 2600+ - AXMD2600GJQ4D

well, the xp-m cpu's can be forced to work on fsb333.
with succes :)
i used to run mine at fsb333 with multi of 16.

this was possible on my epox board.
i have setted the fsb @333 and multi at 16 in bios...and enerithyng was running well...
the gigabyte board don't run as good as the epox did....
or i miss something [B)]
