Asus CUV4X-V motherboard + faster cpu it can take? Socket 370

[Mer]

I have a CUV4X-V motherboard and was wondering what the fastest CPU it can handle?

The manual says 933Mhz but I thought I read somewhere else that it can take the 1+Ghz socket 370 type cpu's?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Mer.

I used to have that board I sold it to a customer tho. I now have 3 MSI 6309 boards. But anyway you can put any P3 Pentium you can find in it and probley the Tualatin also depending on the revison of the board. Just make sure you have the latest bios installed from the Asus website. If you do have the Tualatin processor and it doesnt work let me know I have 3 adapters I'll never use. To answer your question the Pentium 1.3Ghz I think is the biggest that was made and the Tualatin going up to the 1.4 or 1.5Ghz. Don't waste your time with a Celeron the on-chip cache is half the size and will seriously impeed your perfomance of such an old platform. I'm running the 1Ghz in mine overclocked to 1.34Ghz. I have an ATi 9600XT and 1GB memory in it. My only purpose for that machine is to surf the internet and rarely on occasion IF ripping several DVD's I'll put it to work converting encoding. I also have a server running Dual Pentium 933's. The P3 isn't completely dead yet. It's good to hear somebody else still using one. I wouldnt replace it with a processor slower than a Pentium 4 2.4@533 as the Pentium 3's are faster than the early pentium 4's. I have a Celeron 2.0Ghz that cant keep up to it.
I hope this helps and hope to hear more about your build/upgrade.
