I'm pretty sure you can find a slow Duron to fit into a board that will support and XP, she will get used to Duron preformance. When it gets slow, she will see XP preformance. Then you will need the next board. True VIA gave us the KT133 chip, but that was wasted PCB. PC133 RAM on a chip with a 266MHz FSB? Then the KT266A, has lasted a while and will run the oldest Duron on up to fastes XP, right? Or the KT333. Wait a second, 333? The latest AMD is still laging behind at 266. Sure, I will probbably buy a board with 333(XP333-R or something with KT333) but I don't need it unless I plan to OC.
