Will a Ausu K7M run a slot A thunerbird?

[Bigdude]

I have a Asus K7M-RM, but no cpu, all the cpu's I find are Thunderbirds, will they work. It has a AMD 751 chipset.

To my knowledge, only regular Athlons (Shown as "Slot-A") will work in that motherboard. The Thunderbird core is regarding the Socket 462 Athlons.

There are SlotA Thunderbirds as well, though not a large number were made.

The K7M-RM will work with a SlotA T-Bird, though I'd be a little wary with a T-Bird beyond 800MHz in one. In my experience most SlotA boards had some issues with T-Birds past 800MHz.

i was running 900mhz on mine. I think you should fine.

I have used a Slot-A 700 Tbird in the K7M without a problem.

The slot A T-birds were designed to run with older AMD Irongate 750 boards like yours, so it should run OK. It's the VIA KX133 boards that will have trouble running slot A T-birds past 700mhz.
