Motherboards for > 1.2GHZ

[Teikoshen]

i've been looking at motherboards a while.. but i can't seemed to notice that most of them say they can only support cpu speed up to athlon 1.2ghz

is it because we only have 1.2ghz processors today ? or if in future when faster ones come out these motherboards wont be able to support it??

some of them states " future 266MHz FSB Socket A Processors"
does it mean all 266MHz FSB SA ones?? (eg 2ghz 266FSB)


eg: Abit KT7A-RAID
iwill KA266-R
Giga-byte GA-7DX

also.. is RAID really useful?? i mean.. i'm just running a private comp.. not some biggie server?? so.. do i really need it?
(i don't have a HD with raid)

Most mobos will do 12.5x multiplier
and 133Mhz clock
12.5x133=1.667 Ghz
some do 166Mhz clock
12.5x166=2.083 Ghz (with liquid cooling and fingers crossed)
