Which "current" Chipset supports the Palomino Core?

[ndee]

Does a current motherboard support the Palomino Core? So if I would now buy a ASUS A7V133, would the Palomino work on it?

Thanx

According to literature that I have read the KT133A will support the Palomino. May be a moot point seeing that these boards top out at 1.6625 Ghz at 133 FSB. Palomino chips will probably debut at 1.4 or 1.5 Ghz. Current boards will have little head room to overclock. With alleged high thermal characteristics these chips should be decent overclockers. To get the best performance with this new core you should team it up with DDR ram. Wait for next iteration of mainboards and chipset dsigned for the palomino.

I believe I saw on Tom's hardware that the Palomino won't be out at 1.5 ghz--ah here we are:

"The Register is reporting that a recently leaked roadmap for Advanced Micro Devices is not actually that recent. A presentation by AMD president and COO, Hector Ruiz, to the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Semiconductor and Systems Conference suggests that Palomino, the Athlon design that will succeed the current Thunderbird, will ship this quarter at speeds of over 1.2GHz, and not in July at 1.4GHz as previously reported."
