Here (http://www.msicomputer.com/product/detail_spec/product_detail.asp?model=KT3_Ultra2) is a link to your board. Does that look like your board? I cant be sure if it is because there might be different makes of your same board.

That site says it only supports up to 2200.

Here (http://downloads-zdnet.com.com/3000-2098-10162342.html) is a BIOS update that will allow it to support AMD 2600XP.

u can prob oc it to about 150-170Mhz more than 1.8GHz so close to 2Ghz....

but u'll need good cooling

u can take up to a 3000 barton with most recent bios update. if that is the exact board u have,

that is my board and i got the new bios from the link, how can it support a 3000+?

That bios version does not support XP3000+ (but it does support XP2600+). For XP3000+ support you need version 5.7 which is available here. (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=11)

Edit: you beat me to it. :lol:
