My problem is that your little fantasy doesn't pass reality check--you
keep asserting over and over that any socket A chip can be used in any
Socket A board, and it simply ain't so. You may _believe_ it is, but
that just means that you haven't encountered a board that won't allow
it.

Pity.

I've never seen you tell _anybody_ how to do it. And if you don't know
what motherboard he has, how do you know that it will work?

You're the self-proclaimed expert here, not me. And since I've never
claimed that you can stick any random Athlon into any random Socket A
board and have it work, I fail to see why I would be expected to tell
someone how to do this.

The link mentions specifically the KT133. It doesn't say anything at
all about any other chipset except the KT133A, and it doesn't mention
any brand of board but Abit. While the techniques described very likely
will work with many other boards and chipsets, that doesn't mean that
they will work for every board and every chipset.

So? "Many" is not "all"

Uh huh. When you can't figure out how to make it work blame the other
guy.

He has some things that he can try, with no guarantee that they'll work.
