K7VZA 1.2e .Will an Athlon XP1800+ CPU work albeit at lowe..

There were 2 K7VZA, one that had the KT133 chipset, and one with the
Kt133A chipset. If it is the older KT133 chipset, the 1800 will not work
on it, because the voltages are different.

No, you are out of luck. You need a new motherboard for that CPU. Your
motherboard has the older KT133

: All I can tell is the mobo is a v1.0. How does this relate to KT vs KtA ?
: Any way of telling ?
