Max processor on A7V133-C?

[Thomas Wendell]

As seen above, I have a dinosaurus.. A7V133-C (1.05.) , Bios 1009

I'd like to update the Athlon 1.2GHz (Thunderbird) with something
speedier...
What can it handle (without ANY modding)? On AMD support pages it says
XP2100 + (Palomino)
But you can't get that either..

Due to lack of funds, I can't upgrade the whole system (MB, CPU and RAM)

According to these folks you're good to go with a Thoroughbred.

Thanks for that site.
I found a XP2400+ (Thoroughbred) for 78EUR, that I can manage...
I will try and report back

Change that to a TBred XP2200+ for 64EUR, as this mobo/BIOS only gives
multipliers up to 12.5/13, so even this will be slightly
underclocking..(13*133MHz = 1729Mhz)

Doesn't matter what multipliers the motherboard has as the multiplier is
set and locked by the bridges on the CPU package.
