It will work with Tbirds or Durons, monocrom. But look at it this way, the 1.2 MP processors are cheaper than your CDRW drive right now, plus they are more advanced. The MP uses the Palomino core, which enables SSE and has some prefetch features making it a bit faster. Also uses less power and produces less heat than the TBird.. Basically like going from a Pentium 2 to a Pentium 3.. about the same difference there. If you want to save some cash right away, just use a single Duron in the thing. They are dirt cheap and you can wait and save your MP purchase for another paycheck.. the 1.4MPs should be out any time now, with faster ones soon after.. and the prices always keep dropping (or so it seems).
Dr. Mordrid, with those types of applications, going from a 200MHz FSB to a 266MHz FSB DDR bus by itself would probably have that effect.. Imagine how quick his 3D animation would be with a 266MHz bus, DDR, and DUAL Athlons!
I got a SIS 735 mobo, if your thinking of getting one I'd seriously think about getting a very good PSU (AMD recommened 400 watt) and connect the L7 bridges on your CPU, to avoid video posting problems at a cold boot. Apart from that it's a sweet mobo:>.
Check out the ECS forum at OC Workbench, they have more problems than a MURCER with a SB Live and a IBM 75GXp hardrive put together..
