Does this motherboard support all types of pentium processors? what i mean by this is anything lower than P4. B/c i am thinking about purchasing the P3 1Ghz. Please respond!
 
I answered that in your other post, the answer is no. Please don't take this wrong, but it is against forum rules to bump your posts so fast, there are people that it bothers more than me and they may not be nice, so you should wait around an hour or so before bumping it up to the top. But we were all new at some point, welcome to the forums. P.S. I recommend reading the forum rules, makes things easier for ya.

I am currently running the P4B266-C, and I like it for overclocking my Pentium 4 (Northwood). I bought a 1.6A and I have it running at 2.37ghz. I think you should get the full P4B266 if you use USB ports (the -C version has problems with USB ports when overclocked alot) or the P4S333. Or wait a couple of weeks like AndyHui suggested and get the P4B533.

And you aren't bothering us with your questions, so don't worry about how many times you post. I would recommend do a basic search if you have questions because unless your topic is really different, it probably has been answered in another thread. Good luck on picking a board for your new upgrade. I hope you will be as happy with your choice as I have been with mine...........😀
 
Dereck, the P4B266 isn't going to support pre-P4 processors, and only the newer, 478-pin P4s.

I just built a new computer for someone with that board. It seems to be top quality.
 
Why even bother with a P3 at all? A P4 1.6A will run you only about US$140. P3's aren't really even much cheaper than this.
 
sorry about the postage.


I might have a big predicament though. Can processors you buy be bad or go bad? and what are the symptoms?

My 900Mhz athlon chip was purchased by me at a computer show by some Russian guys. I'm not sure if that could be the reason for my PC problems?
