Would the Foxconn K7S 741 MB support a 3 gig processor

Hi all,



I have a Foxconn K7S 741 MB and have been trying to find out if this MB would support an AMD 3 gig proceesor. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

AMD 3gig cpu?

Could you be more specific with the CPU model.

 

Your Foxconn model # seems to be incorrect. Is this the one? Socket 462? The Foxconn site is the best place to start so if you find your board there and you're not sure of what you're reading then post the link up. Need more info.

 

Hi Augiedoggie,

This is my motherboard http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-MB-FOXCONN-SiS-741-K7S741MG-6L-RT, As you can see with the specs here and the MB manual it doesn't say what speed processors are it's peak. This board is geared for AMD processors. Some of the games I'm interested in lately have been reqiring 2-3 gig processors is this possible with this board> I currently have an AMD Sempron 1.8. I know there's another route to go but I'm not computer savy enough to try it, mainly overclocking the processor (don't know how to get the FB I think to do it). Any thoughts.

I was right, it's a socket A(462 pin) and the most one could squeeze in is a single cored 3200+ and discontinued, which is about 1.8GHz?:confused I hope I'm wrong for your sake as I'm no expert but I do run an AMD dual core. Besides, with those onboard graphics the game might still suck even with a CPU upgrade. I'd save my money for a new board/CPU/GPU.

 

my processor is an AMD Duron 1.8 not sempron.

 

Any possibility of overclocking the processor to at least 2.5?

 

Checking further I found an AMD Sempron 2.5 ghz socket A processor. Would this one work with this MB? Thanks in advance.
