i have an amd athlon 1300xp+, and i want to upgrade. if i get the same processor but a 3000xp+ will it work? plz reply if you need more info
 
yes your motherboard name and model is needed to determin everything
 
well im not too good at the techincal bit, so ill just tell you what it says on the front of my mainboard manual.

"K7T266 pro2" "msi mainboard designed for amd athlon xp/athlon/duron processor"

processor is an amd athlon 1300+xp
 
are you 100% sure? cos that means im going to need a new pc if i cant get a better processor than that
 
I have found two pretty good resources on this board. One indicates that the 1800+ chip is the highest AMD XP processor that this board can handle. The other side indicated that the board can handle a processor that runs up to 1900MHz. Since the 1800+ processor only runs around 1530MHz, this would indicate that you can put in a faster chip.
Personally, I wouldn't go above a 1800+ on this board...and especially not a 3000+.
