I bought a L7S7A2 Motherboard and an AMD 2700+ XP
http://www.ecsusa.com/products/l7s7a2.html. I updated the Bios to the latest
rev from ECS's website.



When the machine boots and starts to post, it only sees the CPU as an AMD
2100+ XP

The system bios are pretty much set to default settings. Has anyone else
had similar issues, is there any thing I can change to have the motherboard
see the CPU as a 2700+



System configuration:

GeForce FX440 128 Meg

256 2700 DDR 333 Ram

40 Gigs HDD

2 CDRom Drives

300W power supply

On board sound, onboard LAN



Thank you in advance



Roland

Or higher (195 or maybe more with a Cheepoman bios)

I purchased the exact same combo on Ebay and my BIOS is doing the same
thing - AMD XP 2100+ at 1.73 GHz. In the advanced chipset features
you can change the bus to 166 MHz. I did this and the boot screen
has the processor identified correctly as AMD XP 2700+, but I never
get past the Windows XP splash screen and a blue screen fatal error
occurs. I read in another forum that the ECS mainboard is unstable
at 166 and you should set it at 167. I tried this and got to the
Windows log on screen and then the computer re-starts by itself and I
get the blue screen on the re-boot. I have tried other bus settings,
higher and lower, but the same fatal error. I am contacting ECS and
will keep you posted. Maybe if we put our heads together we can
figure it out. Good luck.

I reformatted the hard drive and installed XP professional from
scratch. Now the computer will not even go to the BIOS screen when
turned with the XP 2700+. I had to install my old Duron 1 GHz
processor in the board just to have a computer to use. I am thinking
of updating the BIOS but I cannot find the BIOS upgrade for this
board on the ECS site. They list L7S7A upgrade, but not L7S7A2.
