When will AMD stop making Athlon Bs? I mean now there is 1.4Ghz Athlon (200fsb), I have A7V. What will be the maximum clock speed? 1.6Ghz (I'm interested only in 200fsb athlons)? When will it or they be out?

Who cares? Actually, I prefer Athlon C even if I'd run them on mobo that only supports 200MHz FSB and some of them are even cheaper than their counterparts at 200FSB.

Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.

I DO! i want to buy the best CPU my mobo can support! I don't to get 1.4Ghz(I already have 1.3Ghz, but want better) and then in a month find out that there is 1.6Ghz for the same price! Why buy 266fsb t-birds for 200fsb, do they work stable at 200fsb? Will underclocked CPU work stable?

200fsb makes the performance suffer badly. Even 266fsb is a bottleneck at 1,4Ghz

it will work stable however if you buy a 1.4@266 the multiplier 10.5. on your board it will run at 1050mhz. you must unlock the multiplier and set it to 14. 14x100=1.4ghz@200.

I got a special BIOS(BETA 1008) update from tech. support ASUS that allows me put 1.4Ghz Athlon (autodetect) without any switches, multipliers etc. Would 266fsb 1.4Ghz athlon o'clock better than 200fsb one? especialy if I o'clock the fsb?

There is no difference between these 2 except Athlon C can run at 266FSB and has a different multiplier.

I'm not sure but my TB 1000C overclocked to 1.4G at default voltage (1.75V). However, on your A7V, FSB might be limited at 120MHZ (and remember when oc by FSB, you also oc all of your components as HD, PCIs and graphic card).
If you want to overclock, buy an TB 1G or 1.2G because I read somewhere that 1.4G is not overclocked too well (almost at 1.6G). BTW, sorry for my previous post.
