Will Athlon XP 2400+, 2600+ work in all mainboards?

I have a Gigabyte 7DXR mainboard, and the latest BIOS only "officially" supports 2000+ and 2200+ 266 FSB processors. If I put a 2400+ or 2600+ (266FSB) in it, am I guaranteed it working, just the bios id string wouldn't be correct? What is the possiblity in putting a 333FSB processor in this board? It doesn't have a 1/5 pci divider, so pci would be out-of-spec. Could it be done?

if it supports 2200+ (tbred) im assuming it would support 2400+ and the 266fsb version of 2600+ (although you may need a bios flash, perhaps in earlier bios's the higher mults were not available)

a 333fsb 2600+ is out of the question, along with anything higher most likely

especially since it doesnt have a 1/5pci divider, harddrive would crap out even if you had no pci devices
