ASUS P2B - Highest Processor

You know that I have about 30 posts on this...😀

You can use any Intel processor with a 100MHz FSB, or if you don't mind the AGP being out of spec at 89MHz, you can also use 133MHz FSB processors. The P2B does have a 1/4 PCI divider at 133MHz, so you do not need to worry about that either. Multiplier is NOT an issue, since all Intel processors are multiplier locked, and they will ignore whatever setting your motherboard has and use its own multiplier.

You must have the latest BIOS, either 1012 Final or 1013 Beta 007.

Depending on the revision of the board, you may or may not need to do a bit of tweaking for it to work. If you have PCB rev 1.12, it already has support for Coppermine voltages. Earlier revisions may not. In such cases, you need to use a slotket with an FC-PGA processor, and set the slotket to manually request 1.80 volts, which is the lowest that boards as far back as rev 1.02 can handle. This voltage is fine for Coppermines, and assists greatly in overclocking should you want to. If you do not set the voltage manually on the slotket, the system will not boot.

You can find the PCB revision printed directly on the board in small lettering next to the name of the board itself, located between the PCI and ISA slots.
