The msi website says it supports CPU's up to 333mhz FSB and I'm pretty sure yours is 266mhz FSB so you're good as far as that goes.

When you say fresh copy of windows, do you mean you installed it using this motherboard??? Or with the old setup??

i install a new copy of xp with this mother board. on the msi website it saids (KT4A-V will not support CPU speed under 1100MHz) i think the 1.4 athlon is only 1050 stock. can you show me how to raise the MHz cuz when i run it in high perfermances it wont start up at 1400MHz. At 1050 MHz it boots up sometimes but its really slow when it does.

do you think i need a new board and cpu or just the cpu?

thanks

Well if the mobo says it doesnt support it then thats your problem there...

When you said a 1.4 athlon I assumed it was a 1.4ghz athlon CPU.

What's the exact model of the CPU???
