Can an Aopen AP5C/P support a 200mhz MMX and up?

On the specs page, it says it supports P166 and faster...but it never says anything about P166 with MMX and faster..

Anyone know?
Thanks,

What is the highest multiplier and FSB that it supports. I have (had) this board and I didn't know it even supported higher than a 120. I had a 100 in it before I ditched it. For me it was a system pull and I never really had a manual for it. Actually, come to think of it, I don't recall it supporting the split voltage required for the MMX chips. I'm hoping someone will correct me if I'm wrong (which is always a possibility and I won't be offended.;))

Requirements to support Pentium-MMX processors:
FSB - 66MHz (any board supporting Pentium-100 has it)
Multiplier - 2.5 for 166MHz, 3 for 200MHz, 3.5 for 233MHz (but you can use a 1.5 mult, and the processor will interpret it as 3.5)
voltage - split voltage: 3.3V out, 2.8V core. If your board can't support that, you're out of luck.

If you have the right voltage, you may want to consider some AMD K6 instead - I understand some older boards support the 400MHz (mult of 6, but you set the board as 2)
