Asus P2B-S what is the fastest CPU to use?

Need to upgrade but i need to know how high it can run...

that's a slot 1 board, right? if so, you can use up to a PIII 1 GHz. They are available in both 100 MHz side bus and 133 MHz side configurations, but the 100's are very very rare and command a price premium. Your board will run stable at 133, and has an automatic 1/4 PCI divider, but you AGP bus will be overclocked. Almost all video cards can handle the overclock with zero problems, but if you use a really old video card, you might run into trouble.

I had an Asus P2B-DS before, and I distinctly remember with the newest BIOS flash that it supported up to a PIII-800E. It might have been an older revision, so I can't really say. I'm quite sure your board will support *AT LEAST* 800MHz though.

I just installed a 1Ghz Celeron w/ an IWill slocket II adapter. My FSB is running @ 112Mhz which is the fastest the P2B-S will go. That yields a 1.12Mhz overclock. Not too shabby for a 3-4 year old motherboard.

Here's the detail on what I did:
