Socket A/462 compatibility
Good Evening :)
I got given an AMD AthlonXP 2600+ today, to replace my current 1700+, they're both Socket A CPU's, so I popped out the 1700 (and bugger me, those heatsinks are hell to get off, so sore!) and put in the 2600, and powered up only to find the HD light constantly on, and no POST beeps, or any beeps of disagreement.
Nothing appeared on the screen either.
Are there some later Socket A CPU's that dont like playing ball with earlier BIOSes etc, or did I make some silly mistake when installing it?
Cheers,
David
