Super-Bob Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Will an Athlon XP processor work with Windows 2000 Professional? The XP in AXP and the XP in WinXP are in no way related. It will work fine with any Windows after 3.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Ranger Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Yes Crimson, the updated stuff will work too. And yes, AMD XP processor will work with both Windows 2000 and Windows XP I'm running...well, see my sig. No issues at all, and a very stable OS as well...I think it's the best OS Microsloth has released. Let us know if you need any more help with assembling your new toys.

Crimson Posted January 11, 2003 Author Share Posted January 11, 2003 One last question before I decide what I want. Will this cases' PSU work on an AMD Athlon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteKnight77 Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 It should be no problem Crimson. You can always get a different power supply to install later. The 480W Antec TruePower PS that I am using can be had for about $100 if you search around for it. It also has leds in the fans that add a nice blue glow.

RooK Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Crimson, here's the deal: Anything an Intel cpu can do, an AMD one can as well. So just go the affordable route and use an AMD cpu. As for psus, if they say P4 power supply, it means the additional special connector required for the P4 mbs is included. AMD just uses the mb connector to power its cpus (like all pre-P4 cpus did), so basicly any 300w (at least) or more powerful psu will work, P4 ready or not. WhiteKnight, I believe the one with blue leds is another version with a slightly different name, and they charge you a little more for the leds as well.

WhiteKnight77 Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 The box says TurePower tho the UPC code says TrueBlue480 but this is it: IIRC I paid $115 with tax for it at a local store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Posted January 12, 2003 Author Share Posted January 12, 2003 Yeah, I know RooK, im an AMD guy myself. If you didnt notice, Ill be upgrading to an Athlon XP 2100+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killa_N_Manila Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Yeah, I'm also gonna upgrade some more. A new case, cpu, and memory are all in line it seems. Then I'm shootin to have a GF FX late this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
