Why in the world would you want an old palomino core. And if it's because
the manufactures website sys that's the fastest it your board will take,
it's BS. I wish I had a hundred of them to sell to the idiots on ebay
bidding $70 and more for them.:-)

I think, at least some of the time, it is not BS.
I had an Asus MB that claimed the fastest
processor it was capable of supporting was a
Palomino 2100. I bought a 2100 from a retailer
who assured me that a 2100 Thoroughbred would work
just fine. It would not POST. The Asus MB worked
fine with a 1900 Palomino that we found to test it
with and the 2100 T'bred worked fine in another
board that claimed to support it. So there you
go.

I have no idea where you might get a Palomino
processor at a reasonable price. I gave up and
chucked out the MB. I'm using the T'bred 2100 I
bought initially now at 2100MHz in a KT333 MB I
got cheaply. My advice to the OP would be to
chuck away the MB that requires the Palomino and
get something slightly more modern, but equally
cheap, which supports newer, more readily
available processors.
