I have friend who uses an old HP 5267A-ABA 7935. Santa Fe Trigem motherboard, either KM133 or KT133 chipset (documentation is unclear). It's been upgraded to 1GB of RAM, but still has the original 1300 MHz Athlon processor.

This is used as a file and media server, which serves its purpose other than being able to serve up video to mobile devices via Plex. We are thinking a beefier processor would be able handle this. It has a RAID 1 setup and my friend doesnt want buy and build a whole new system and reconfigure the RAID and all that, more of a matter of time than cost.

I was wondering if this motherboard can support all CPU's that use the Socket-A 462 pin configuration. If that is the case it should be able to upgrade to a Barton core. Is this possible?

Thanks!
 
Jaydee, I don't think there's a whole lot more to be had from the board. My recollection is the fastest the KT133 could handle is the 1.4Ghz Thunderbird processor. That's what I had in my old KT133 motherboard, and i remember upgrading to it from the 900MHz CPU because it was the fastest available.

This old post seems to confirm it:
