My duron 650 Mhz died yesterday. :brokenheart: I need to a replacement fast.
I found 1.3Ghz is the fastest around. however I'm not sure if duron 1.3Ghz would work on this board.

MSI link for cpu support for K7t pro2a

The above link indicates 1.3Ghz is not supported. Is this correct ?
Reason I don't trust this is, I knew some people were able to overclock their durons and ran it aroung 1G and above.

Please let me know if you have (or knew) got the Duron 1.3Ghz cpu working on this mobo.
I appreciate your time.

Flash to the latest bios link *don't worry about the turbo only note* it will add the Morgan cores to the CPU ID table so as long as there's a 13x multiplier it'll work fine since the Morgan is still a 200DDR CPU. BTW, I'm amazed your board is still going strong, the PRO2 and 2A's I built all died of fault capacitors :brokenheart:

Hmm.. I don't know what is the bios version i'm running now..
I think I have a chicken & egg situation. :)
I need a cpu to upgrade the bios. But I need the bios for the cpu to work :(

Any clues ?
