chipset: KT133 vs. KT133A + pwr supply??

[MementoMori]

I have some misc. questions:

1. Should I chose a mobo with a KT133A chipset rather than one with KT133, even though I'm only planning on running a Duron 800, or will a KT133 suffice?

2. Will a 235W powersupply be enough to run this Duron 800? (if it makes any difference I have a Voodoo3 gfxcard, 2 IBM HD:s (8GB+30GB), a Pioneer 32x CD reader and a 8/4/32 CD-burner, etc.)

3. Can a Duron be run with a 133MHz FSB?

4. Does a retail Duron include some kind of cooling, or do I need to get that separately?

5. Ummm, that's about it for now

Thanks in advance!
Magnus

Get a KT133A chipset mobo, itll last ya longer. A KT133 would suffice, but if ya ever do decided ya want a better proc, say a 133FSB TBird, youd be bummed with the KT133 (could still run the proc at 100 FSB, but thats not what ya bought it for)

Might be enough for a Duron. Used to run a A7V133 with a 1.2C TBird, 3 HD, 3CDROMS, and 2 big case fans, no problems. Im now running on a 320W, and id still say go for a nice 300W PS, but its not really really needed.

If yer lucky, and it lets you overclocke that high, yeah. KT133 mobos dont really support a 133 FSB though, they usually only go to 112 or therabouts stably.

A Boxed duron (is there something like that????) should include a Heatsink, otherwise youll have to grab a separate one.
