AOpen AX6B - What is the fastest CPU I can install?

[RyboFlavin]

I have an AOpen AX6B, Slot 1, motheboard. Currently I am running a P-II 350, but I would like to install a faster CPU. In the BIOS I can change the clock multiplier so that it will support an 800 MHz CPU using 100 MHz bus. I also notice that I can change the bus speed to 133 MHz which allows the CPU to be set to 1 GHz. Since this is a BX chipset, I should not change the bus speed above 100 MHz...correct? Assuming this, which version of the P-III 800 MHz CPU should I buy? I see that some of them run on a 133 MHz bus, but I need one that runs on a 100 MHz bus.

Anyway, if anyone can clear up some of my confusion I would appreciate it. My biggest concern is finding out what the fastest CPU I can install is.

Thanks

You need a pIII that runs on 100 Mhz bus. They have a 1 Ghz PIII chip that uses a 100 FSB, though you may want to check Aopen's web page to see if there is a bios update or something that will allow you to run a chip that fast. Allow, you need to make sure you motherboard supports the core voltage adjustments for these chips, since they are of lower voltage than what you are using right now.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can find a P-III 800 MHz that runs on a 100 MHz bus?
