Upgrading!

Post by **Hermskii** » Fri May 04, 2007 12:35 am

I'm boosting the ram in the CG server up from 512 to 1,500mb. I'm trying to upgrade the processor from a XP2100 to an XP3000 too but it won't work...............yet. This naturally applies to MHM as well. Sorry for the outage. Later!

Can you flash the BIOS? I am not sure if the Barton core is interchangeable with the Palomino. May require a new mobo.

Hopefully this will work out soon, CG & MHM is greatly missed

Well...

Yes, I can flash the BIOS but I already have the latest one installed for this mobo. There already has been success for other using a XP-M 2400mhz Barton core processor. I'm just trying to break the record is all.

I'm glad to hear the servers are missed and am also sorry for that. I'm am so busy with my job, my 8 months pregnant wife, 2 year 5 month old son and home repairs and side work that I can now see how Schwantz and many others simply walked away from running Redeemer servers. I don't plan to walk away. I just need more time to break the record is all. I think I'm close too. Later!

So, how is the upgrade coming along?

Post by **Hermskii** » Mon May 14, 2007 7:49 pm

so far I have completely failed in my effort to upgrade my servers. They will be down for a few more weeks while I get a grip on things around here. My wife is 8 months pregnant and I have a 2 1/2 year old here too already. Work is running me and my wife hard so I just can't muster the time and effort to get the server back up yet. This is just an FYI out to all of you who were wondering. Later!

I ya want Ill come over and fix it...got a XP 3000+ MB and proc ready!

nice but no. It isn't broken. It just isn't supposed to be able to do what I'm trying.I have already determined a way and run the board at 1920mhz which is faster than it has ever run but I'm trying to get to 2200mhz no matter what with stock cooling and NO overclock! Like I said, I figure it will be about 1 more week.

Long time Hippie. Where have you been?

Success! Read what I put on another forum of people who were helping me. We have all been trying to do this for years and I finally did it tonight! See below:

I just wanted you all to be the first to know that I just did it! I know how, can and do run an XP-M 3000+ AMD processor on my ABIT KT7A version 1.3 motherboard! What is really exciting though is that though I have not done it just yet but I'm positive that I can do this on a pre 1.3 version of this motherboard as well! Not only that, I've learned how to unlock any AMD processor even if it is super-locked! I have learned lots in the last 2 weeks! The best part of all of this is you can do it all without modifiying your processor, or using pin mods or anything like that!

I can't wait to tell you all about it but tomorrow night is the final testing for this for me and then I'll post everything. It was sorta hard to learn how to do and I searched for hours each night, chasing down leads and hunting for impossible to find required files but it all boils down to this: You can run almost any XP processor on any version of a ABIT KT7A mobo under certain and usually easy to meet conditions. More later! By the way, just to drive this home to you about how excited I am right now. I have a KT7A in my hot garage right now running a XP-M 3000+ on stock air and my cpu temp is 38C. I haven't even begun to overclock it yet! More on this soon. Later!

CG and MHM will be back up this Sunday night!

I'm jealous of you

Congratulations Herm! That is totally cool!

So I lied. CG and MHM won't be up today (Sunday), like I thought because I still have more work and testing to complete. I thought I'd finish it last night but HBO had boxing so I watched it, got drunk and fell asleep instead. Now it may have to wait until next week. I just wanted to mention it to you all.

I'm a double liar. CG and MHM are back up right now. I went ahead and restored to original config and will continue testing on a 2nd KT7A mobo that I have. I can run a XP-M 3000+ on this board at full speed but it isn't nearly stable enough to run the server...YET!
