Greetings everyone,

My 1.4 ghz T-bird Athlon cpu burned out on my K7S5A mobo, and I was wondering if I could replace it with a athlon xp cpu? Should I also get another heatsink as well?

FYI : If its an AMD processor, Duron or Athlon XP get THE BEST heatsink available. Go for the best one.

Few days back my CPU fan started melting and it melted on...;) (better than CPU burn out...) So had to get a BIGGER, BETTER fan and also a BIGGER ATX cabinet. Things are fine now.

About the processor, the support site suggests this -

Socket A, currently 550 MHz - 1.4+ GHz
Compatible with AMD Duron/Thunderbird series
200 - 266 MHz Processor Bus Compatible
