With the newwest Bios it should be able to support AthlonXP's with the 100mhz FSB
Or also look at the last Durons. i think there were some at 1.8Ghz?

Well it kind of depends on the brand of mobo. Diff brands have differing levels of bios support. Some boards even have differening levels of support depending on the board revision. Since you're talking original KT-133 chipset then you're limited to the 100mhz bus, so Duron 600-1.4Gig/100mhzbus T-Birds. If your particular board has good bios support then you might also be able to use the later 1.0-1.3g Morgan core durons as well.

You'll need the updated Kt-133A chipset & good bios support to make full use of the 133mhz cpus including AthlonXPs(Palominos, T-Bred-A & Bs), & the later 1.4-1.8gig Durons.

Give some more details & we should be able to tell you more...

KT133 is 100 MHz bus as others have already said - so that limits you to Durons up to 1.3 GHz, and Athlon-B up to 1.4 GHz. BIOS and power supply issues might limit you even further.
