Upgrade from Thunderbird

Can anyone tell me if I'd need a new motherboard for a Thoroughbred , Thorton, or even Barton Athlon XP if my current motherboard is one designed for Thunderbirds? I'm trying to avoid getting a new motherboard, because that means new ram. Also, if say a Thoroughbred would work, would performance really suffer from using old PC100?
 
Crack the case open and look between the lower PCI slots for the model number (assuming it's an Asus, if not just look around the motherboard).

EDIT: If it's the K7M, you won't be able to upgrade the CPU past ~1 GHz as that's a Slot A board.
 
If you go with an nforce2 board AFAIK you can run the memory at any speed u want... my Abit NF7 for example has memory/FSB dividers where both memory and FSB ratios are adjustable from 3 to 6. So basically u can run the memory as slow as half the FSB speed or as fast as twice the FSB speed.
 
it might work witha bios update depending on the board. I've got a old kt133 mb lying around here that supposedly can run them with the new bios update.
*edit*
Update to support AMD Athlon XP 2400+ & 2600+ CPU sign on
is what it says when i looked it up
