Which AMD XP CPU to upgrade for Abit KR7A-133R?

[ne0phyte]

I have an Abit KR7A-133R. I intend to upgrade my CPU to the highest speed my mobo can support. According to Abit website...my mobo can support 0.18 micron process Palomino up to 2100+ and 0.13 micron process Thoroughbred up to 2000+ after flashing with the latest BIOS. I understand that there are new Thoroughbred-B which also clocking at 2000+ to 2100+. Shall i consider this as well? Will my mobo be able to support it?
Which CPU yields better performance?
Your input and comments is much appreciated. thanks.

I'm pretty sure the Thoroughbred-B's start at 2400+... which seem to be excellent overclockers from early reports (dunno if you're interested in oc'ing )
As far as whether your motherboard supports it or not, I can't say much but I would doubt it since it says you can't go above 2000.
But you never know.

The T-Bred "B" CPU's dip as low as 1700+ on the new die process. This information was found here, right at home:
How to spot a Thoroughbred

As for your motherboard, upon some research, your board is practically identical to my DFI AD70-SC, which supports up to the 2100+, but I know of people running the 2200+ on mine, so I would say knowing Abit's background, you can probably make the same assumption.

Well, that article was written before the B was released, so that might only apply to A's.

Edit the post title and put the brand and model number of the mainboard. This would not take up more space than the insipid "Mobo."
