I've been thinking about this off and on for a while now, but would I
be beter putting one of these (XP-M 2500+)

or one of these (XP 2400+)

Im my old but still reliable Abit Kt7A (1.3) to replace my Athlon
1400?

What would each one require to get it working? I believe the 2400+
even if locked would work without changing much (if only defaulting to
20x100)- would the XP-M?

There's several that use mobiles in the KT7A, and IIRC the most you might
have to do is set the max multiplier, and I'm not sure if even that's
required. Most of these will run at 2400MHz and higher.

Thanks Wes,

So would I be correct in saying I'll need to do the wire mod to get
the higher multipliers, or can I just select 9x to map it to 17x in
the BIOS?

Read this thread. He had to pull AJ27 high.
