They don't suffer from the problem in question (-:  The article mentioned
that it's a problem with some Via chipset motherboards.  From what I've read
elsewhere, it sounds like it affects a lot of Athlon/Duron motherboards
(including mine) and not necessarily only what you'd consider "older"
machines: my motherboard, for instance, claims to support 500MHz--2GHz CPUs.

No matter which way you look at it, the title of the article is misleading,
though.
