    Hi, I have an AR21S and was wondering if I could upgrade the CPU to a T7600 /T7700 / T7800 ?? I see from Sandra the FSB on the chipset will go up to 800Mhz but with the BIOS be happy with the upgrade ?? Just wondering if anyone had tried :)

    Cheers, Jason.

    OK, so no answers, I got the memory to go to 166mhz by loading the AR31S / AR390E BIOS and with a nice overclock provided here using SetFSB I can goto 2.8Ghz with no heat difference after a 1 hour test. Stock and on the T7200.

    No one tried anything else ?? !!
