I have a K7T Turbo with an XP 1800 in it (after flashing the BIOS). I'm wondering if higher Athlon XP's would work. In theory it would seem that any Palomino core up to 2100 should work, and so should any Thoroughbred-A that uses 266Mhz FSB. If so I could put in a 2600 and see a big jump in performance. In practice, of course, there's no guarantee the motherboard would correctly recognize the chip or even that it would work at all. Any thoughts? Is there something I can do to make it more likely a newer chip will work correctly?
