I've upgraded 3 K7S5As with XP 2400+ procs without issue. You'll have to grab at least this version of BIOS: http://www.lejabeach.com/E
BTW - great board, and no issues. On a side note, make sure that your IDE controllers have the appropriate driver (if running XP), and your devices are running at DMA if they support it (hard disks). XP and this board have a nasty habit of negotiating to PIO mode which severely cuts down on your throughput. I can dig up the link for the driver (and the other howto that explains some registry stuff that's required sometimes) if you need.

You have Palomino cpus in there currently. You can install any socket-A AthlonXP ThoroughBred cpu up to 2600+, if the BIOS recognizes them (a flash may be necessary). The Bartons and the top ThoroughBreds run at 333 and 400, so those are out, as well as the Athlon64's, which are socket 754 and socket 939.
