Why would kt133 boards be capable of 550 Mhz?

Is it backwards compatible with Athlon Classic then?

Also it says that it goes up to 1 ghz. Does that mean it wont wrk for 1.1 ghz T-Birds to come?

There was probably a Duron 500 in the works til AMD nixed it? Either that or they mean that the BIOS has support for 5.5 mult. Should work for any Tbird with a simple BIOS flash...and ASUS is usually quick about that.
