"Recent" processors on ASUS A7M266
Hi. I'd like to know if relatively recent Athlon XP processors (like 2400+ and 2600+) can be used on ASUS A7M266. The page regarding that on ASUS' website hasn't been updated in a long while, so I don't know if 2200+ and up can be used on A7M266 after all (the page may merely have not been updated).

Can anyone shed some light into this matter? In addition to this, I think I've read something about a new cooler design with something made of copper being required starting on Athlon XP 2100+ (or something). Is that true? If so, is it a possible cause of incompatibility between a mobo and a processador? Thanks!

According to ASUS's website the fastest XP CPU supported is the 2100+

Another reason for not supporting some of the later Thourobred cores is that many of the voltage regulator circuits will not handle the lower voltage requirements needed. So in a way this is not always an issue of needing a BIOS update unless of course the mobo manufacturer did think ahead
