Richard! It depends on what chipset your processor contains. Heed this:
Chipset Information
AMD Chipset Information
AMD offers an array of chipset products designed to unleash the full power
of Athlon� and Duron� processors. From uniprocessor desktop systems to
multiprocessor server and workstation platforms, AMD provides a world-class
high-performance chipset solution to enable the most demanding designs.
AMD-760� MP Chipset
The AMD-760� MP chipset is a high performance two-way multiprocessor core
logic solution for AMD Athlon� MP processors, intended for server and
workstation class system designs. This feature-rich, high-performance
chipset consists of the AMD-762� system controller (Northbridge) and the
AMD-766� peripheral bus controller (Southbridge). The following features
are provided:
Two-way multiprocessor system design supporting AMD Athlon MP processors
A 266-MHz Athlon system bus, offering data transfer rates of up to 2.1 GB/s
A 266-MHz Double Data Rate (DDR) memory interface
AGP-4X interface
A 33-MHz, 32-bit/64-bit PCI bus interface
EIDE storage interface supporting ATA-33, ATA-66, and ATA-100 modes
AMD-760� Chipset
The AMD-760 chipset is a highly integrated system logic solution that
delivers enhanced performance for the AMD Athlon and Duron processors. The
AMD-760 chipset consists of the AMD-761� system controller (Northbridge)
and the AMD-766 peripheral bus controller (Southbridge). This
high-performance desktop solution provides the following features:
Uniprocessor system design supporting AMD Athlon and AMD Duron Processors
A 200/266-MHz Athlon system bus, offering data transfer rates of up to 2.1
GB/s
A 200-MHz/266-MHz Double Data Rate (DDR) memory interface
AGP-4X interface
A 33-MHz, 32-bit PCI bus interface
EIDE storage interface supporting ATA-33, ATA-66, and ATA-100 modes
AMD-750� Chipset
The AMD-750� chipset represents AMD's first-generation core-logic solution,
offering high performance capability to desktop systems implementing AMD
Athlon processor modules. The AMD-750 chipset consists of the AMD-751�
system controller (Northbridge) and the AMD-756� peripheral bus controller
(Southbridge). This high-performance desktop solution provides the
following features:
Uniprocessor system design supporting AMD Athlon Processor Modules (PGA
versions of the Athlon processor,and Duron class processors are not
supported.)
A 200-MHz Athlon system bus, offering data transfer rates of up to 1.6 GB/s
PC100 memory interface
AGP-2X interface
A 33-MHz, 32-bit PCI bus interface
EIDE storage subsystem supporting ATA-33 and ATA-66 modes
