Comment: Are socket A and socket 462 essentially the same? I have a socket 462 mobo with an athlon 1ghz (t-bred?). the bios wont post, so i need to test the cpu in another mobo. is a socket A mobo fine for this? And i'm assuming i can use a duron 1300 (from my socket A mobo) in the socket 462 mobo as well...

Reply: (edit)The socket A or 462-socket is like the Chevy 350 small block with a very long life. You must consider the different chipsets, processors stepping changes, jumpers to jumperless, SDRAM To DDR, AGP 1x to 8X just to mention a few changes during the last 5 years. So, The BIOS WON'T post is a very general / broad question. If you could be more motherboard specific, other could help more precisely to the issue at hands.
