If a Mobo will support a 1.4 Athlon, can it support a 1.4 Duron?

[Shockwave]

Have an old Abit KT7-RAID I'd like to hand to the kids, but got no good CPU for it (Cracked cores )
Anyways, can I get a current AMD Duron 1.4 and drop it in? Think it'll work? Per Abit's website...
Processor
- AMD Socket A Duron (100MHz FSB) up to 950MHz
- AMD Socket A Athlon (100MHz FSB) up to 1.4GHz

yes
it supports AMD-K7 Athlon Socket A 200MHz FSB Processors and Supports AMD-K7 Duron Socket A 200MHz FSB Processors

cheers

Are you talking about the new Duron's? The applebreds?
I'm not so sure those would work in your board, since the Palomino and Thoroughbreds aren't even supported.

OMG I just came here to ask this very question for this very board and CPU....
My old board, i want to set up for my mom....was looking at getting a Duron 1.4Ghz
LOL I even have this in my clipboard from Abits site
- AMD Socket A Duron (100MHz FSB) up to 950MHz
- AMD Socket A Athlon (100MHz FSB) up to 1.4GHz

It does not seem to work...

I got the duron 1400 with this board.
With the latest BIOS it comes up as a Unknown Processor
and refuses to run at 1400Mhz

that is b/c a 1.4Ghz duronapplebred has a fsb of 133mhz....so a multiplier of 10.5 right?

so then I'm assuming it runs at 1050 Mhz? If so live with that, else i guess "overclock" to reach stock speeds

just b/c it says unknown doesn't mean it won't work....my friend has some Kt333 that reads "unknown" on his 2500+ but it still works for him

It'll run easily, just whether the BIOS will identify it correctly will be an issue.
Even if it doesnt, I shouldnt see it being a problem.

It may or may not work. The Tbird is an older core, while the Morgan (.18 Durons) and the Applebreds (newest Durons) are different chips with SSE, prefetch, etc. I guess it depends on the board if you want to run a new Duron on an old board.

I usta run a POS pchips mboard with a 1.4 T-Bird though it recognized it as a 266 fsb "Duron" kinda weird but I don't see why it wouldn't run it. just the bios might not recognize it, which isn't reallt a major problem.
