it should support socket A processors up to 1Ghz at least. im not sure if it will acccept the thunderbird chips, but u can still get standard socket A chips. also if its only a new board, depends on age here big time, it may support up to 1.2 Ghz, which would be very tasty. :-)

just to clarify that, the only socket a cpu's are the thunderbird and duron. The k7ta is a fairly new board, it supports all current socket a cpu's, including the 1.33 ghz tbird.
