    I have been looking at main board manufacturers' sites (shopping for Socket-A only) and one thing I have noticed is that, more often than not, some of them don't mention the processor speed range supported by their boards.

    As to why this information is frequently left out of the specifications, does anyone care to comment on this? Has something changed since the days of Socket 7 that I am not aware of?

    Hi Alex,
    Where have you been looking? I just ran through my bookmarks of several mfgrs' sites e.g. Abit, Asus, MSI, Iwill, Gigabyte and they all show cpu and speed supported except Abit's site, which has changed dramatically since my last visit and not for the better.

    Went here http://www.amptron.com/html/motherboards.html and found speeds listed for all except one. Could it be your browser is not getting the entire page? I had to scroll down the page a bit on each socket A motherboard I selected.

    Since your talking Socket A I assume you are shopping for a AMD processor?
    I found it even more helpfull to go to AMD's site to see which boards they recomend for the specific processor.
