Hi group,

Thinking about upgrading my current Abit BX MB with Celeron 1.0Gig to an AMD system. I have been hearing/reading good things about the Soyo Dragon+ MB. My only concern is how much "upgradability" does this MB have with respect to CPU's? Is the 266A chipset designed to handle the faster AMD CPU's? What's AMD's plan in teh future as far as speed with their CPU's that would fit on this board? I might pair the MB with a AMD 1800 chip and just wanna make sure I can upgrade later on without too many issues.

Are there any other boards or chipsets that might be worth waiting a few months for?

Thanks, Aaron

it can any of the athlon cpu's... and with a bios update it should be able to take the new socketA cpu's to come out in the future

it will probably work for any of the amd cpu's to come out until the "hammer" which is supposed to come out either the end of this year or the start of next
