What is the upgrade path using the ABIT KT7-RAID? Is Tbird the end of the line, or will the new Palomino also run on the KT7?

Yes, from what I've heard the palomino will work in current socket A motherbaords. It probably won't run at 133Mhz FSB though.

I think Palaminos will run on VIA KT133 boards, although you might need a BIOS update, and, yes they will run at 2x133MHz FSB speed (not higher, not lower!). Of course, you'd be missing out on the massive advantages of DDR memory, though. At least you've got ATA100!
