"Applebred" Duron help please

So I'm going to donate my old ECS L7VTM KT400 board to my sister's ageing Celeron 700 box, and add a Duron 1.8Ghz. Question is, will this board support it?

Does anyone know the prerequesites- i.e. bus speed, chipset support etc? I've emailed ECS but no reply yet (sigh).

Cheers!
 
It's 9 months old. I wouldn't call that "really old".

Anyone have some useful information please?

I know it should support it, but I want to be certain, given the return policy of Overclockers.co.uk

Thanks Dennis Travis 🙂

And ^Sniper^ - yeah, you'd think, I was just worried that it might not detect it properly. I mean, the Duron 1.6/1.8 chips are fairly new, newer than the KT400 (I think? Correct me...). Hell, I'll just have to resort to multiplier and FSB work if it doesn't right? 😀
 
It should work fine, the Durons use a 266MHz FSB so even a KT266a should run it. Who cares if it's properly identified?
 
Very true, but it's the perfectionist in me that wants things working exactly, damnit 😀 😉

Having said that, the perfectionist thing is probably why I took almost a day to rebuild my rig.
 
Just update the BIOS. Worst case scenario is that the BIOS comes up with "unknown CPU" but boots up at 1.8Ghz.
