The manual at msi only shows it as a pentium II motherboard.

Weren't some of the early pentium 3's also slot one with the 100mhz fsb, though?

you are correct. if that's the case, then i believe it should be able to handle a 1.4ghz with the use of a socket to slot 1 adapter here.

May only accept slot 1 p3's up to 800mhz, with a conversion card, I think that neovan is right.
