Abit Be6 motherboard question??

Hey I have an abit be6 motherboard I bought about a year ago, and I wanted to know if I could put a pIII800mhz cpu in there? I've lost the manual so I don't know how high it goes, but I rememeber it saying it will go up to like 600mhz (but 800's weren't even out then, so it wouldn't have even listed it anyways). Does it matter how high I go w/ the mobo or does it just depend if the bus speed will handle it? I'm kind of new to all this so please help me out! Thanks!!
 
I have a BE6, one of the first ones, with the extra resistor that does not let you hike the core voltage., what I am trying to say is that any BE6 will do better then mine.

With MSI Slotket (I can hike the voltage through the slotket), and the latest BIOS, this Mobo does: P-III 700 set to 140x7=980MHz.

Most of previous Mobos State a lower Max. because they knew at the time, that once Intel comes with FliChip the mother board will not be able handle it. However in came the "slotket", and if the slotket can handle FCPGA, it does not matter if at the time the Mobo stated what was safer for Abit.

Actually I can even post and run Windows for few Minutes at a setting of 150x7=1050MHz.
 
BE6 is a BX Mobo, BX chipset has only 1/1 or 2/3 AGP divider.

If the FSB is 133 with AGP set to 2/3 the working bus for the AGP is 80MHz.

In my computer eVGA MX2, or Matrox G400 are working without any problems.

From what I read, it seems that most of the new nVidia Geforce GPUs are capable to work at such a speed.
