Asus P4PE Socket 478 Upgrade Options?

[TSDible]

I have a friend who currenly has a P4 2.4 in an Asus P4PE.

I'm looking for upgrade options for him. So far, the fastest that I have found is a 3.0E at NewEgg.

I'm going to hit the FS/FT forum before I go that route. What is the fastest upgrade option for him with that board?

Thanks in advance

Anyone?

Would his current memory accept new cpu, running @ higher FSB? That would be something to consider. FSB on that CPU is 800MHz.

good point...

What is the fastest chip will run at the 533Mhz FSB?

That way, at least I would be safe. I'm not sure about his memory.

Pentium 4 3.06GHz with HT Technology (512KB cache, 533 MHz FSB)

Doubt if you'll find one for a decent price....

Have you tried OCing the 2.4 GHz CPU? How much memory does your friend have installed?

He has 512MB right now and is considering an upgrade to 1GB. I have a 1GB of PC2700 just sitting here, so I'm not sure I can justify buying faster ram.
