The Asus A7V133 has a KT133a chipset. This board won't officially support any
AthlonXP processor. The most you'd be able to put in it would be an Athlon
Thunderbird 1.4GHz. About the 166MHz fsb, the KT133a won't be able to hit that
high. You may be able to get up to 155fsb or so though, but that'd leave your
AGP and PCI overclocked quite a bit. You'd also need to put some extra cooling
on your northbridge (chipset). Best bet would be to get two sticks of PC2100 and
an Epox 8RDA for $80 or so. This board is currently the best board available for
Athlons and will support any type. Be sure when installing the ram to use slot
#1 and slot #3 to enable dual-channel operation.
