MSI K7T turbo + thoroughbred compatibility question

[mastay]

I have an MSI K7T turbo rev 3.0 (It is the green PCB). It is based on the KT133A chipset. MSI officially state that it supports XP processors up to 1800+, but I assume that it is for palomino. MSI hasn't update the page in about a million years. I am wondering if anyone knows if the board is capable of supporting thoroughbred proc seeing as how palomino seems to be going the way of Macarena. Thanks ahead of time.

MSI has updated the BIOS for this board quite a few times. Since I have this board I know for a fact it does support XP2100+, the last Palomino cpu. As for Tbred cpu's they list no support. Turbo 2, which uses the same BIOS, supports Tbred.

The newest BIOS is 3.6. Their website is currently down.

Thanks. I am getting a bunch of error messages whenever I try to do something in the MSI site.

Here is a link from MSI, for the cpu support for this motherboard, it only supports up to a XP 1800+ Palomino, it does not support the thoroughbred cpus.
