    beating a dead horse: msi 745 ultra & barton?

    hi guys,

    if I remember correctly, there were a few owners of the msi 745 mainboard here. has anyone ever tried using a barton (fsb 166) cpu? officially it's not supported, and what I find on the net is, well, contradicting.

    thanks,
    wulfman

        My MSI 745 Ultra ran a Barton Athlon XP Mobile just fine...

        No wait, I had upgraded to a 748 by then... sorry, can't say!

              Oh, and anyway...what do you mean by "dead horse"? :/ (still on AXP 1700+ generally, though for one more day on p2 266...)

                yeah, same here - msi 745 & Xp 1700, slightly overclocked. but I had to deal with some special programs recently wish refused to run smoothly with the current setup. bumping up the speed a little bit might just be enough...

                  Also, what REV of the board do you have?

                    a 266 bus barton will work, just not 333 bus
