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.
