Does the Tyan S1854 Via Apollo133A motherboard support 1ghz P3?

Currently I've got an 866mhz MicronPC P3 in my system, and my friend is willing to sell me his 1ghz P3 processsor for $90. (he won an Athlon 1.2ghz system)Can anyone tell me if the motherboard will support this chip? I've no experience in this department. Thanks.........

$90... what a deal!!
The S1854 is in fact the Tyan Trinity 400, which has both a Slot 1 and Socket 370 interface. It utilises the VIA Apollo Pro 133A chipset.
It will support a gigger ONLY if it has designation 99PON, take a look at the compatibility chart
here, and look at the Trinity 400. I would reccomend getting a hold of the latest BIOS upgrade though.
All of this said, at that price you may as well get a new board!
