Now, I did put an AthlonXP 1900+ in my old KT7a (KT133a) however the board is heavily modified. I have a 2x2" heatsink on the chipset, all three 5 volt mosfets run directly to the 5v rail on the psu and I modified the voltage controller to allow for higher voltages. It works, somewhat. The system will still crash every few days. With the old Thunderbird cpu the system was working perfectly. Lots of other people couldn't even get a Palomino to post in their KT133a boards. If he can get it to work, thats great. I'm just stating it doesn't 'officially' support it and he could run into problems.
