    Quick Barton Question

    Will the MSI KT3 Ultra2, with the KT333 chipset, support an Athlon Barton processor? I was told it has a 1/5 divider, so that's the first step. I'm considering upgrading from an 1800+ to a 2500+ and want to know if it would be a waste of time/money. Thanks for the help!
