Moin.

Du musst mal gucken welche Board-Revision du hast. Da muss irgendwo in der Gegend der PCI-Plätze ein Aufkleber sein. Du kannst auf jeden Fall jeden Duron/Athlon C benutzen, und mit Rev. 1.3 sogar AthlonXPs.

Q: Does ABIT KG7 / KT7A / KT7E mainboard support AMD Athlon XP processors?

[...]
ABIT KT7A / KT7A-RAID V1.3 mainboard is hardware compatible (ready) and can
support AMD Athlon XP processor via BIOS update.
ABIT KT7 / KT7-RAID / KT7E all version and KT7A/KT7A-RAID V1.0/1.1/1.2
cannot support AMD Athlon XP processor.
1.ABIT has release BIOS for KG7 and KT7A V1.3 to patch the CPU model name.
If user did not upgrade to the latest bios, users can also manually set the
suitable working frequency for AMD Athlon XP processors in SoftMenu BIOS.

Define
With above setting users can use AMD Athlon XP processors flawlessly. The
incorrect CPU information during POST can be fix via BIOS update.
2.As for KT7 and KT7A old version mainboards, which launched earlier than
AMD Athlon XP processors, they are not hardware compatible with new CPU.

In a nutshell KT7A ver. 1.0 - 1.2.... NO
KT7A ver. 1.3 +... YES


Doc.

PS.: Auch wenn du ne Rev <1.3 hast und jmd kennst der nen XP hat, solltest du ihn mal fragen ob er dir den mal zum Ausprobieren leiht. Der XP wird zwar nicht offiziell unterstützt, bei vielen hat es aber trotzdem geklappt.
