Where can i buy a 1ghz or higher t-bird in a slot A config?

own an MSI-6195 (K7PRO) Slot A mobo that i just love and would like to keep. Thanks!

The highest multiplier possible on a slotA processor is 10.5, 1050Mhz is tops.

I don't think AMD made Slot A Tbirds above 700 (maybe 750). YOu can buy the original Athlon 1ghz... but they are not nearly as fast as Tbird as the same speed.

actually I believe the fastest SLOT A thunderbird was an 800MHz model!

I'd get one of the KT133A's if getting a new CPU also.

I have a slotA Tbird 900 and I have seen 1gig versions for sale. Don't waste your time with slotA Tbirds unless you have a motherboard with an Irongate Northbridge like an ASUS K7M. Mine runs well at 110x10(1100Mhz) but you are lucky to get 800Mhz with a Via chipset motherboard.

You got any more info about Slot A T birds on VIA?

Fastest Tbird Slot A is a gig. Trust me on that one. Since you're using an Irongate mobo, you shouldn't have any compatiblity problems that the kx133 users were facing with higher grade slot a tbirds.
