Will an Athlon XP Mobo work with a Athlon (Thunderbird) CPU?

[Guest]

Yeah, they're old processors but I have an old AMD Athlon 1400MHz Thunderbird that I'd like to reuse and the only mobos I can find are for Athlon XPs.

specifically I'm looking at this one. I cant seem to find information at the foxconn website

I have a 266MHz FSB so that fits.

Socket 462 should support the 1400. Send Foxconn support an emal and ask if the board 'offically' supports it.

Should, they were both socket A.

Agree. By 2 seconds.

Hey, I just woke up, cut me some slack...

You shouldn't even need a bios update, the thunderbird was before the Thourghbred, which was before the Barton. (athlon XP)

1400 =133 MHZ FSB
Foxconn MB supports 266/333Mhz.

Open the MB manual. Supports Duron, Athlon and Athlon XP. But doesn't list 133 FSB as supported? Only 266/333.

um thats Bus, which is 2x FSB.... thus 133x2 = 266, so ya it should be fine.
