i currently have an abit bx6 rev 2.0 440bx motherboard and an intel celeron 2 566mhz using an iwill slocket 2 fcpga adapter. my cpu is overclocked to 851mhz by bumping the fsb up to 100.

so my question is: what is the abosulte fastest cpu i can buy for this old motherboard? i don't have enough money to buy a new motherboard, ram and a fancy cpu, so i just wanna know if i can improve my system from what it is right now. there are a lot of celerons that are faster now but i don't know which ones will work with my motherboard/adapter.

edit: this is the fastest cpu i have found so far that will work:

Intel Celeron (Pentium III based) 1.4GHz 256K 100MHz FSB FCPGA2 Processor Retail Box Version
Specifications:
CPU: 1.4 GHz
Type: Tualatin .13 Micron
Cache: 256K
BUS: 100MHz
Socket: FCPGA2
Retail (Box with Heatsink and fan)
Model#: BX80530F1400256

i have been doing some reading on newsgroups and webpages and apparently you can clip off three of the pins on the celeron 1.4 cpu and then connect another 2 pins with some conductive paint to get it working. sounds complicated to me, but i might do it. i need to read more about it. powerleap.com also sells the fcpga2 with cpu kit, but it is like twice as much as if i just did the thing myself.
