New That was only part of the problem.
Flashing the BIOS *helped*, but getting *all* the jumpers right was the clincher.

That said, a new A7V266 should know about that old an processor. Until I flashed mine, it didn't recognize my Athlon 1800XP.

New A good thing about Asus is their support for
their mobos and BIOS upgrades even for boards no longer marketed.

Thanks for mentioning your need to upgrade BIOS to use the Athlon XP. That may be "in the cards" for me.

New How I noticed:
The BIOS listed an extra two voltage options for the CPU after I flashed it.

At least it wasn't as bad as my P2B-L: it came with 1002 which came out before the Celeron did. Wouldn't boot because it didn't know the processor. I had to go back to where I bought it from to get them to flash it up (with a PII :-). And then when I added a PIII 500, I had to flash it again so it would (again) recognise the processor.

New The old rule - "If it's not broke, don't fix it!" apparently
does not apply to motherboards when you are upgrading CPUs..:)
