Confustion about Motherboard CPU combo

[chochem]

Haha, dang, I step away from the hardware scene for a couple months, and now I'm totally overwhelmed when I come back.
Well, anyway, I've been seeing alot of the DDR motherboards that are coming out, but I have about 6 gigs of PC 133 RAM
that I don't want to give up on. I was wondering, will a ASUS A7V133 motherboard work with the AMD Thunderbird 1.2GHz 266MHz
Bus Socket A processor? Or will the processor only work with the DDR motherboards. I assume it will work, but I really don't want to order
6 new motherboard/cpu combinations only to find out that I had to get the DDR stuff instead Sorry for the newbie question all, and thanks
for all the help.

Yes. The A7V133 board will work with the AMD Athlon 1.2GHz with a 266MHz FSB.

The processor FSB is independent of whether or not you run SDRAM or DDR SDRAM.

No processor makes it mandatory to use a particular type of RAM.....that is a function of the chipset.
