Abit NV7-133R with a Barton CPU

[SkaGuy3876]

Can a NV7-133R with the new DW bios that adds Thorton support work with a Barton CPU? Becase aren't Thortons just Bartons with half the cache disabled? I was looking at the Barton 2500+ CPU specificly. Thanks.

i would doubt it. Barton is the same core as the thorton but it also runs a 166 bus. If the board can run 166, then i'd say there is a chance, but i wouldn't bet on it.
