[QUOTE="Khryo, post: 13137, member: 11413"] Hi Eddie, I got the same trouble when I started the configuration the first time. Hopefully, I found a workaround to the "non-support" of mobile athlon by MSI on such motherboard. After digging into the forum, I finally did this: In the BIOS: - Cool'n Quiet activated - LDT to AGP lokar down to 600Mhz (if I keep 800Mhz, the PC freeze after few minutes in XP) - VLINK8x disabled (dunno yet the benefit of this, after a benchmak my AGP NVidia 5200FX works very well) but if it is enabled, the PC freeze too That's the first step , after this I was able to install windows XP, and SP2 + Nvidia driver without trouble ... but, the CPU is still running with 800Mhz In the forum, they are talking about an AMD 64 mobile driver, but I didn't see any difference with it (CPU-Z) and I suspect the BIOS.
