Fastest CPU for PcChips m811?

[Carbon]

Someone gave me a new in the box pcchips m811 kt266a motherboard. All the
manual says is "this mainboard supports socket 462 that accommodates amd
athlon processors with frontside bus speeds up to 133 mhz."

The reason I'm asking is I'm not sure of the distinction between an athlon
and an athlon xp. Can I run say an xp2000 cpu that has a 133 mhz fsb?

I think the short answer is Yes.

The link David Maynard provided even gives you BIOS version per CPU
support.

The manufacturer's web site is usually a good place
for technical information.

Good luck.

I tried the website before posting but I got redirect errors on my linux
machine with both firefox and konqueror. I just assumed the website was
hosed. However I just tried the wife's windows machine and firefox loads
the site just fine. Strange.
