I have a A7V8X-X and according to the user manual it supports Athlon, XP
up to 3200, and Duron. It supports up to 3GB of nonbuffered non ECC DDR
SDRAM memory PC3200, 2700, 2100, & 1600. The BIOS settings look like
they would allow me to run 400 MHz FSB but I haven't actually tried
doing that. I am using the board as a cheap replacement for a 2 year
old Soyo that died running a Thunderbird 1.3 and PC2100 memory. For
that purpose it was a completely painless plug and play install.

The official info is here. It is always possible that more can be
done, and you should look in abxzone.com, a7vtroubleshooting.com,
amdforums.com and the like for more info.

I have the same board and it detects my Palomino
XP1700+ without any problems. Only if I set to
LOWER multipliers than 11x it won't post at all.
Strange, if CPU is multiplier-locked?

Is Palomino really "overclocker's worst nightmare"
as it seems like? Regular lead pencil-trick won't
work (that did fine with Duron), neither does any
wire-trick even if some XP-overclocking sites do
have wiring-instructions for Palominos also.

So only possibility is to fill-up the holes between
L1-bridges with some non-conductive paste and then
connect the pins using silver-paint etc.? No other
problems with that than proportionally expensive
conductor that can't be found from any nearby
shops... Is this neighbourhood poor or what.
