Fido over at The Inquirer reports there's good news for all Athlon XP and Duron owners and people who love Socket A is that this platform is about to stay with us for quite some time. Only a BIOS update will enable Sempr0ns to work on current Socket A boards, perhaps not all but I guess the majority of them. We suspect that you need FSB 400 to have those CPUs work as all K8s are working at FSB 800 or should we say 200 MHz. Yes we know that Hypertransport is AMD's FSB these days.
