it should work,but i suggest flashing your BIOS. you can get new BIOSes and information on how to do this on: http://web.epox.com/html/motherboard-download.asp?id=l43zn3t31Cq4h3h0c10x1BM0i03...

don't know...

p.s: which memory do you have? PC2100 (DDR 266) or PC 2700 (DDR 333)?

OK Andrew, try looking in the power section of your BIOS setup and set the multiplier to manual.... 13.5. You may also need to change a dip switch setting to go manual.

Don't worry, you're quite safe to do so AS LONG as your motherboard is rated for this processor. Check first.

eg Silent Exploder's mother board is a great board - just got rid of 2 old PCs with the same one - but it IS NOT suitable  for a 2700+ processor.

Also check that you're running with at least a 350watt power supply. I had a 300W with my old PC with the 8KHA+ board when I upgraded to my 2600+ cpu and it blew. Remember my disaster story a few months ago?

Easy to replace the PC p/s but the surge took out the p/s of my Seagate h/drive. Now that did cause me some grief - it ain't easy getting data off a knackered h/drive!

PS

Andrew, just noticed you have  the 8RDA board. So do I. 2800+ is the highest it goes to. Strange you can't use auto BIOS multiplier setting

I'm running 512 MB of PC2100 DDR RAM

The mobo I've got is the plus version of the 8RDA3

I'll try changing the power setting to 13.5 and see what happens. Btw, what FSB frequency should it be set at?
