Does it work?
On Soltek web there is a sentense:
"No, it does not support AMD Athlon XP (Thoroughbred)"
But why? What's some special diffrence between Palomino and Thoroughbred?

But Soltek is probably too cheap to write a BIOS update for it.

@soupy: Am I right to think that the only operational differences would be:
1. Better heatsink needed because of the smaller die
2. For official support you need the CPU overheat protection
or did I miss something in that article ?

That's what I got out of if. Maybe there's voltage support issues with the old Soltek board.
