2800+ and Dragon Ultra KT333

[kdo2milger]

Does anyone know if it will be possible to use the new AMD Athlon 2700+, and 2800+ w/ 333fsb on the Dragon Ultra KT333?

Will it require just a simple bios update or will it require new architecture in the chipset? or for that matter a new board...

The lastest bios is :
1. Support Athlon 2400+/2600+ CPU.
2. PC/SC support

So looks like your motherboard can't support the XP 2700 or 2800.

It's the same achitecture. Wait for the BIOS update.

Thats what I'm counting on BipolarBill, just a little ole bios update to make my day...

I'm hangin tight till then, can't complain, I got a xp2000+ oc @ 1.74ghz right now, it's the fastest cpu i've ever owned, so waiting a few more months will be worth it...

I know about the 2600, and 2700+ bios update Alex, but thats still @ the 133mhz fsb, I'm waiting for the 166mhz fsb support...

And I'm hoping that Soyo will release a bios update, maybe before the end of October. Ohwell I'll just have to sit patiently and wait...
