Thordoth ,

do you understand about the jumpers on the motherboard , I don't know what jumpers the KT266A motherboard has , but on an Athlon K7N2G-L the jumpers have to be moved on the motherboard because the processors 100FSB speed is below the 200/266 .

I think I have to remove one jumper , the J10 jumper and the J11 jumper if I was replacing my 2600+processor with your 1200 processor beacause your processor does not have an FSB speed above 100 , 100FSB .
