I'm thinking of upgrading my home-built PC's processor. I originally built
in an XP2100+ but this is running at 72 degrees C, even when it's slowed
down to 1300MHz and won't boot into windows at all when set to "full" speed
(1733).
It's always run hot and I tried replacing the pad that came with it for
another one (not easy removing the original thermal pad at all!!) and it's
still running hot.
Basically I'm just wanting to know if it's worth my while upgrading my CPU
to a Barton. My MoBo is an Asus A7V333.
At the bottom of this article:
http://www.digital-daily.com/motherboard/amd-barton/
it says
a.. ASUS A7V333 rev1.04
a.. ASUS A7V333 rev2.0
When I boot my PC it says BIOS revision 1011 so I think that's too old. The
Bioses don't go up to 2 or 1.04 though so I'm presuming it's actually a
different piece of hardware I would need. In which case I don't know which
revision mine is or even how to check. Does anyone have any experience of
this problem?
Thanks,
Steve
