Refurbished.

2.1 ghz 512 cache 400fsb

Seems like a great way to upgrade your Socket A system if your motherboard can support 400fsb.

I have an older KT266A board (Soyo SY-K7V Dragon Plus!), so I'm obviously limited to a 266 mhz FSB... according to Soyo's website, I'm limited to upgrading to an XP 2100+, but AMD makes an Athlon XP 2800+ that is 266mhz FSB. Any reason I can't use that? Soyo's website seems to indicate that I can't use anything newer than a Palomino core, and the 2800+ is a Barton core. Is it simply that Soyo decided not to produce the necessary BIOS update for my old motherboard?

OOS.

This is warm, for $7 more you could get a socked 754 based sempron at 1.6ghz.

No, the 2800+ is not 266, but 333. There is a rare T-Bred version of the 2800+ as well as a Barton version, both of which are 333 FSB parts, but that doesn't matter. It's not the the FSB, it's the core.

There are many Soyos which can ONLY run Palominos.

There is nothing you can do, there is no BIOS update, it's a board problem, it cannot run T-Breds or Bartons...

I've experimented a lot with this and managed to get one of these Palomino-only Soyo boards to appear to start working with T-Breds but sure enough, the system ended up terribly unstable.

How can you compare different cpu types and call another warm?
How is the socket 754 chip going to benefit the socket A user?

upgradability to A64 processor in the near future (if it is still available )

Perhaps that is because of this:
