Is there a card that can accept an AMD Thunderbird socket A chip and go in to a slot A board? I'm not too familiar with AMD stuff.

not yet....Abit was rumored to have been working on one, but that was awhile ago.

There are none available that I've heard of, and if they're not available by now, it's doubtful they ever will be.

I remember they had pics of one that were on all the tech sites, but they said it will come out "later" and it never did. but oh well, if u want ddr support in the future u'll have to get a new board anyways

I had read someplace that it would be more or less impossible to convert socket a to slot a because of the number of pins on a socket a chip comparred to the number of contacts on a slot a; something along the lines that they really couldn't put enough contacts on the slocket due to the numbef of pins on the socket a chipset.
