Socket A, also known as socket 462 i believe... thats one ancient board. If your looking for a new CPU youll have to look on ebay and such

Ooooooo socket A. Of course, you can't just expect to use any socket A CPU. Available bus speeds on socket A are 200, 266, 333, and 400. You would need to find out at least what Bus speeds that board supported before trying to get a CPU for it.

Discontinued, outdated and obsolete :lol: Nice choice!

And people wonder why folks just go to the nearest store and buy whatever the sales person tells them to (which is invariably an Intel powered machine), way to go chaps great job.

^ Seems like it's a cheapo compaq board. Since it has the KT133 chipset it should support all Socket A Thunderbird core Athlons and Spitfire core Durons. The best of those was the 1.4Ghz Athlon Thunderbird with the 266 FSB. If BIOS updates are avaliable for that board it could support Athlon XP CPUs based on the Palomino core up to the +1800. In that event a Palomino +1900 core should also work fine even if it's not properly recognized by the BIOS. It is very doubtful that board will support Thoroughbred CPUs and certainly not the more powerful Bartons.
