Anyone have experience running Athlon XP cpu on a Via kt133 board? I have an Epox 8kta2 board (Socket A, FSB 200, PC100 sdram, ISA) currently running an Athlon Thunderbird, and that's as far as the board officially supports. But I also have several Palomino, Thoroughbred and Barton processors I'm thinking about trying to run on that board.
I know the slow FSB and RAM will limit the full capability of the faster processors, but it more about using a cooler, less power hungry cpu. The Palomino and Barton are also mobile chips, that should in theory support on the fly multiplier switching.
