307564 2004-12-26 05:10:00 I'm trying to get my brother a motherboard and I'm looking on the specs site but I not sure how to interpret what processor exactly the mobo supports?

It says:
Support AMD K7 CPU (100MHz DDR transfer )
FSB 200 MHz
CPU Type Socket A

www.chaintech.de

Umm does K7 mean Durons? And Athlons? On the auction it says support Durons and Athlons but I'm a little confused now.

Please reply soon as the auction has 2 hours to go..

Cheers

307565 2004-12-26 05:41:00 I think K7's were the stuff before the Durons. I think they were running up to about 550Mhz. The last time I saw them was probably about 1999. ~sy~ (95)
307566 2004-12-26 05:52:00 WTH!!!

Sy, you are rather mistaken unfortunately.

The AthlonXP 3200+ systems I make all have a Gigabyte "K7 Triton series" motherboard.

K6 is what Sy is referring to. But too late now...

307568 2004-12-26 05:54:00 So, they were athlons ???

I didnt see before but the site says athlon/duron support...

But I wanna know what the highest thing i can put on is...

I thort the K5's and K6's were the 550Mhz ones? Duron started at 700 didnt it?

Durons started at 550

307571 2004-12-26 06:07:00 Durons started at 550
which must have made selling k6 2's at 550 which were available at the same time as the duron 550 quite difficult
