T-Bird vs. Athlon4 compatability

[lordmeatball]

I am ready for an upgrade. I had full intentions of waiting for a nForce motherboard with an Athlon 4. I recently read that AMD pushed back shipment of Athlon 4 desktop until Autumn. I have also read that nForce boards may be available as soon as August.

What currently available AMD processors will be compatible with this nForce board? Will the current crop of processors (Thunderbird-266mhz FSB and Thunderbird-200mhz FSB) be compatable?

I currently have a system with a MSI K7T Pro (MS-6330) with a Duron 600 and 100mhz SDRAM. This is what I want to do:
1. Buy a nForce motherboard(probably Asus or MSI), DDR memory.
2. Buy a 1.2 GHz, 266 FSB T-bird for nForce system.
3. When Athlon 4 arrives, upgrade nForce system with Athlon 4
4. Upgrade K7T Pro with the 1.2 GHz processor.

Will it work?

Well replace the nforce with the SiS 735.

Yeah, it'll work. It'll be a little pricey (with the intermediate 1.2 Tbird), but it'll work.

And don't listen to IM about the SiS 735, the nForce is better.

My Athlon can beat your Ferrari off the line.

juin,
I appreciate your input. The only problem is, I can’t understand a single sentence. A miss-spelled word here and there is ok, but what is this nonsense?
