No, if it's a socket A motherboard then it's Socket A only. The later sockets require more pins and more advanced power feeds...

In other words, get a new socket A, or upgrade entirely.

I know what you mean about Socket A's, been trying to get hold of one for a while now... Without using eBay ;)

Managed to buy 1 last week from micro direct, for my mums motherboard, AMD sempron 2800, £36.00, _ Postage, Now showing as Out of stock, Wish i had bought 2.

Indeed, however i needed the even rarer variety, as this motherboard only supports a FSB of 133, and older models of Athlon XP's.

Oh well.

I have an Athlon XP 2500+ Barton lying around somewhere which has happily clocked at 2.2Ghz (3200+) in the past. Problem is, it's at my parents' house, two hours away ;)

And there's a problem anyway, didn't that run the 333mhz bus?

IIRC all the Barton cores run at 166 and the Thoroughbreds run at 133 The Barton 3000 was made in 166 and 200 flavours I think

Ebuyer have Duron 1600 / 1800 in stock, but while these are 133/266 FSB, the core may be too recent for some older motherboards.

Wait, what am i thinking, i have a 1600+ that i know works in that motherboard, and i know the motherboard that it resides in now can take upto 3000+ Athlon XP's, Durons and what not...
