ECS k7VZA and Athlon XP 1700+

[@l@n]

Hi there. Ineed help on the ECS K7VZA motherboard ( the version with 133 FSB support ). I plan on buying a new AMD Athlon XP 1700+ CPU and I dont know if the board will work with it. The manual doesn't say anything about it and I can't find any clear explanations to this problem on any web pages. I would really appreciate any help you could give me. And by the way does this board support DDRAM? HHEELLPP MMEE!!!!

That's the US BIOS page. Here's what it says:

"BIOS V3.3b later version have support AMD Athlon XP CPU "

Welcome to SysOpt! :t

so i think it should be fine

and they say yes
with a BIOS upgrade

DDR?...nope.

PC100/PC133 SDRAM or VCM SDRAM...yep.

Thanks guys for all the help. I'll try and buy this CPU after a BIOS upgrade. I'll let you know if it works. Once more thanks for the help.
