Will the thunderbird work in my board?

[JWade]

I have an SD11 rev.1.8 and 1.7 (two boards) will a thunderbird work in either of them? Any Info would be appreciated. Oh the 1.8 board does have the latest bios update, the 1.7 does not.

I think the Slot 1 Thunderbirds work OK with the AMD 750 chipset. The Via Athlon boards ain't so good for the Tbird, unless they're KZ or KT 133's. Don't quote me, I'm not certain about this!!

AMD 750 based motherboards do work fine with the Thunderbird, some KX133's don't. An SD11 should be fine.

Currently I've got a T-Bird running on the K7M from ASUS(AMD 751)... Their hardware monitoring software ASUS Probe is the only non compatible software so far... As for the Via KX133, my K7V won't boot past the boot screen, but it could have something to do w/ my BIOS are flashed to run my cache @2/5 for O/Cing....
Go to Tom's site @http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/00q2/000623/index.html he mentions the KX133... As for the sd11, I haven't heard anything yet, but if it's an AMD 750 or 751 chipset you should be fine....

Sidenote: currently I've got my 700MHz T-bird @ 800 w/ a goldfinger, and it's SOLID...I'll go futher later but if you read the article @http://www.3dalpha.com/?filename=reviews/td2-1.txt you'll see that 100-150 above core may be standard...He had an 800 core do 950+, unfortunately my 21st week was a 700 core... Also, if you take off your heat-transfer plate, you'll notice as I did, that w/o the cache loaded to either side of the cpu, the chip has a tendency to rock back and forth as you reinstall the clips to hold it to the plate...NOT COOL!!! I'm lucky to say I didn't fry my chip in the process...
Good Luck,
