Default Cpu upgrade

I have an albatron km266 pro mb I bought in 2002. 200/266 fsb It says it supports athlon, athlon xp and duron processors. I'm using a slow 1.3 gig duron now and I see a lot of athlon xp processors (266 fsb, up to 2400 on ebay. should any of these work as long as the're 266fsb? I can't find any updated info from albatron. Top end processor is not indicated in the user manual.
