I want to try this board and see if it will run my Athlon XP 2500. So I checked Biostar's website and the m7vkb drivers and Bios are no longer there. Nothing but the manual. Does anybody happen to know where I could find the latest drivers and bios for this board and if it will run my Athlon XP 2500?

The driver is still available, but I can't seem to find the bios.

M7VKB Drivers

the m7vkb board only supports processors up to 1.5GH if I'm not mistaken. I'm upgraiding a friends at the moment and doing some research for hardware and software BEFORE I break it..lol. I wouldnt recommend puting your cpu in that motherboard. Hope this helps

Everbody be cool, u b cool

Update of last post, people. Appologies for the discrepency....

The M7VKB actually only supports up to 950mhz with the durons and 1.4Ghz with the 100mhz athlons. As you can see for yourself

I have installed/incerted a Duron 1,000MHz with no problems on this specific board.

What I would like to know is has anyone successfully ran this board at 266MHz fsb?

The default is set at 200MHz fsb.

In the manual it discribes the possible option to set the jumpers to allow 133MHz which I'm guessing is doubled as the board default setting is 100MHz,but the jumper pins are missing and I can locate where they should be.

also I will upload the drivers/manual/bios/flasher once located,to folder "GA-M7VKB"
