There is no Socket A AXP supporting board that does not support the Semporn. It might call it an Athlon XP, or it might call it Unknown CPU.
I've got an Athlon XP Mobile running at 2.4GHz and Windows gleefully reports "Unknown CPU Typ" (yes, it doesn't say "Type" just "Typ")
Sounds good, I figured as long as it wasn't over the FSB and MHz it could handle.
I repaired an install with a new chipset and although I could boot and get into windows, it was quite tragic. Reinstalled and it worked like a charm.
