XP2000+ always shown Adm Duron 1666 with 64k L2 cache.
The two board with bios 1016 and 1007 bios.

Test it on A7N8X-X, aking SURE fsb is set on 133mhz AND multiplier on
12.5. With bios 1007, it should id correctly. Good luck, & hth. sdlomi

I tested too with Aus A7N8X-X with FSB 133 and multiplier 12.5
and the error is the same .The Post show me AMD Duron 1666

I have the same mobo except A7N8X rev. 2. Maybe the "x-x" mobo is an
older version which won't recognize the xp--shows correct speed tho', but as
a duron. May be something you'll just have to live with and not worry
about. I'd bet it is running properly, tho'. Good luck, sdlomi

I teste with a XP2400+ (2G) and a XP2200+ and recognize
both correctly but not XP2000+ (A7V333 and A7N8X-X recognize DUron)

Thanks

You know, Duron has a chip with 1.6 ghz(so close to the XP2000's 1.67
ghz); their speeds being so close may be what's confusing it. What happens
if you raise the fsb just a couple of points--does it then show XP2000+?
Just curious, sdlomi

Have you checked it with some little program like cpuid?
Ive read of cpu brain surgery to change a duron into athlonXP, maybe one of
its legs is broke and doing the opposite.

Good thought, Andy. Hoping he doesn't have that problem--wouldn't it be
a nightmare? But since it id's the 2200 and the 2400, I believe that shows
promise it isn't such a big deal. My 2-cents!!! sdlomi

Um - I dont think the both the boards are at fault, just the CPU -It might
even be a fake?

1-It's very interessent too ,this XP2000+ show in POST of the
Motherboard Soltek Nforce2

Unknown Processor 1666 MHZ

But on ASUS Show Duron

2- > happens if you raise the fsb just a couple of points--does it then show
XP2000+? Just curious
I can't try that because i changed the processor (my supplyer changed)
for a XP2200+, and now evrythin is OK

Sure makes one wonder with both boards, huh? Almost like it had a
multiplier of 12.25?! Never heard of such a monster as this cpu. I'd love
to have gotten my hands on it before he exchanged it for the 2200, how 'bout
you? s

I wondered a bit...I have bought an XP2000 myself see (bargain before AMD
started locking them) -and its recognised ok on my a7v8x-x, so I consider
the mean occurence of a Mobo develeping this particular fault very low, but
then it wouldnt get mentioned until it happpened, so hearing about one
board is possible, but the odds of just two tested boards both having the
same fault must be vanishingly small... then again, occasionaly, really odd
things can appear to happen...sometimes even do.

Hehe, 600d 9h1LO5oPhiE -yes I like the curiosities too ;D
