I also got the same question. will it work on my asus a7v133 (kt133a)??

It got core voltage settings down to 1.1v.

Well, I imagine (keep in mind this is speculation) that any board that can handle a Palo can handle a Morgan... I also have a KT7A Raid and I have heard that it will work with Palo, so probably Morgan as well.

I read the official announcement from AMD this morning and the new 1 GHz Duron IS the Morgan core.... not the Spitfire. We should start seeing Morgan's readily available in the Distro channels in about a week. (ooh, this makes me excited. Here I come, dual morgans!!)

it was said to work in a7v meaning it would also work for other boards now in tomshardware

Here is how I see it:

With the Morgan core AMD did NOT announce a new processor, socket lay-out or chipset. To that extent it would be considered as a Duron and should work on the current socket A boards (at least KT133A and later). Only issue I see is voltage adjustment. There were some earlier boards out there that would not go below 1.75 or so - OTOH this may simply be an issue of a bios upgrade.
