Alpha PAL8045 on Soltek SL-75DRV4?

just wanna know if it will work already have the alpha and wanna make sure it will work w/ this board before i buy it. a list of boards it does work w/ would be even better.

To my knowledge, neither of the KT266A Soltek boards will fit large heatsinks like the Alpha or the Swiftech..

If you look at this picture, you can see that there is a capacitor near the top corner of the CPU socket, as well as two near the bottom of the socket. I am fairly sure at the very least the upper capacitor would cause a problem with the Alpha, and most likely the lower ones too.

Here. It won't work with that board.

sh!t..was hoping to do some o/cing when i get my new board and proc but maybe not now. i will be getting a retail xp-1800 so i will have a hsf for it but i was hoping to use the retail for my t-bird and then the alpha for my xp. now
i don't know what to do.
keep the alpha on the t-bird and get another hsf for the xp?
or get a board that will work w/ the alpha?
suggestions?

i don't really want a mobo w/ raid cuz i won't use it anyways. i do however want ata133 and a good o/cing mobo but it must be a reasonably stable board. which is why i went w/ the soltek to begin with. i already have a GA-7DX for my t-bird and that is rock solid but offers nothing in the way of o/cing.

thanks for the link...but it says that i should even have been able to put my alpha on my giga-byte board. guess it's in the same category as the DXR board
