Well...shoot. I updated the BIOS, and instead of "Sempron", it changed to "Athlon XP". Well, looking at the Chip, it is NOT an Athlon. It says "Sempron 2500", but realizing now, this board is not designed for a Sempron about 2300+. Guys got any ideas? This is running the latest BIOS. Can anyone tell me how to figure out what the speed this thing is SUPPOSED to run at? I got it booting into Windows Installer with it at 1.45Ghz. I will see if I can overclock it higher than that
Oh, and when I pulled off the heatsink, all the compound had hardened are hard as a brick. I had to scrape it off and put some generic stuff. When I get the tube coming in the mail (Arctic Silver Compound #3) I will pull it off again and redo it. Right now, I am going to try to get Windows XP FLP loaded on it. Let's hope it all goes well!!!
(I would also like to note that this seems to be a troublesome Motherboard. It is noted all across forums that this particular board has problems from design. Hence, the reason they only made a "v1.0" board and not went through with it any more. It seems they made a major "Oops!" during the design. So far, no problems!!!"
