AMD Athlon? Configuration Info
http://www.amd.com/us-en/
If that "2the Max 8KHA" is the EPoX EP-8KHA it's on AMD
recommended list for a 1.4g/266fsb. I'd suggest you also get a AMD
appr'vd power supply and hs/fan. Use thermal grease, not a thermal
pad. Pay more attention to power supply model numbers than brand
names. EG, I have a 300w Powerman PS, but it's really made by
Sparkle and is AMD appr'vd for my 1.4g. Case ventilation will be
very, very important.

Works better on AMD IMO ;) When you get it put together, run
'burnK7' ( http://users.ev1.net/~redelm/ ) for at least 30 min.
Hopefully you can pass without errors, and keep the cpu temp under
55C. If you start to go over 55C, abort (Ctrl+c) burnK7, and improve
your cooling. If you can run burnK7 with no errors and at 52C or
less, I promise you'll have a bulletproof Linux (or even Winblows ;)
system. Then you can overclock it (I run mine at 1.55g, 1.82 Vcore ;>
