Athlon XP on Asus A7A266?

[JoaoParadise]

I've got an Asus A7A266 Motherboard (based on the Ali MAGIK 1 chipset) and a Duron 1100 processor. Do you know if that board accept the Athlon XP 1500+? Whats the core speed of that processor, by the way? Thanks in advance for your time.

Core speed of the AthlonXP 1500+ is 1.33GHz. In today's market, we have AthlonXP's using both the Palomino core and the Thoroughbred core. Palomino and Thoroughbred have identical functionality and performance, but the Thoroughbreds are made using a smaller 0.13-micron lithography, and use a lower voltage, so some boards support both flavors of AthlonXP's and some boards only support Palomino variants.

You can tell the cores apart by several means, one of which is appearance: How to spot a Thoroughbred Note the rectangular core and the black label stuck to the edge of the CPU on the Tbred.

I can't get through to Asus' CPU Support page right now, possibly they have their server down for patching against that SQL worm or something. It would ordinarily be here. This thread may help you in the meantime, however: click me

it should support all 133MHz CPU's, i think
depends on which version(revision) of the chipset you're talking about.. i think there are a few different flavors.
