Well, here's where it gets hairy. In order to use the Athlon 2400+, which is
the best option, IMO, you will either have to overclock your current
motherboard to use the faster 333MHz FSB that it requires to achieve its
speed, or get a motherboard that will natively support that FSB. That may
require memory upgrades as well. Also, remember that a faster processor
usually requires more power, so you have to make sure your power supply is
up to snuff. Does your motherboard support overclocking the FSB? I'm not
familiar with your brand.

It can take an AMD processor with a 266 FSB...hence the 266A chipset.
That's why he wants a TBred co they use 266 not 333 and go up to the
XP 2400+ model. After that it's a different TBred with 333 or a Barton
core. No overclocking is necessary.
