Is there any chance of me using a Palomino in a KT133 board?

palomino is socket a - but im GUESSING that it will run at least a 266 MHz bus (133 DDR) - simply because the multiplier at 100 can only go up to 12.5 (1250) and Palomino is supposed to go at least to 1.5 GHz. 133 MHz bus would allow up to 1668 MHz at 12.5 multiplier..

yes you can. they'll all work, as long as your BIOS supports it (that's another question, you might have to flash it to run a Palomino).

only SOME Palomino processors will be 133 mhz fsb compatable. even then, they'll still run on 100mhz fsb motherbaords, you'd just have to change the multiplier to run at that speed (which is dumb, cause then you're spending extra money for the 133mhz version).
