Asus TUSL2-C

[KyrieEleison]

I have a Asus TUSL2-C mobo and I want to get the highest spec processor for my mobo. Can anyone tell me what is the highest spec I can use. According to the manual I can use any:

Intel® FCPGA / FCPGA2 Pentium III® Tualatin? and FCPGA Pentium III® Coppermine? and Celeron? CPUs

Thanks Mike.

The fastest processor I would recommend is the 1.4GHz Tualatin based Celeron. If you are willing to OC then look for a later stepping of a 1.0 or 1.1GHz Celeron (Tualatin) and OC the FSB to 133MHz. There's also a 512KB cache 'server' version of the Tualatin PIII, but it's way overpriced for the performance IMHO.

Thanks for the help. I do want to get the 1.4 Celeron but some websites tell me I can only use the 1.1 Celeron. If I could get a PIII processor for a good price, what is the highest spec processor I can use...

Why not get a celeron tualatin 1.0a and overclock it to 1450MHz? Easy as pie.

If you don't plan to O/C, the highest performance cpu you can get is the P3 Tualatin 1.4G 512K,
but they cost like $300 each...

It's not that easy to overclock the Tualatin Celeron b/c the mb doens't allow you to adjust the
voltage quite high enough...maybe you can get a 1.0A or 1.1A Celeron and run at 133FSB if you are lucky..

I'm telling you, it is easy as pie. If you want to overclock higher than 1450, then you can do the wire trick, but there really is no need.

1450MHz with a 1.0a is very do-able.
