Hmmm, not sure, abit's web site doesn't say.
CPU
Supports Socket 370 Intel® Celeron® processor (Based on 66/100MHz clock)
Chipset
Intel® 440ZX(66/100MHz) AGPset

Memory
Three 168-pin DIMM sockets support up to 256MB SDRAM module
BIOS
CPU SoftMenu?II eliminates the need for jumpers or DIP switches needed to set CPU parameters.

Functions
Two channels of bus master IDE ports connectors for up to four IDE devices
Miscellaneous
One AGP slot, Five PCI slots and Two ISA slots

According to the manual it supports up to a 433, but my guess is it will support a 533 (not a Celeron II, but the original PPGA Celeron 533) just fine.

It supports a 66/100 MHz bus, so with the multiplier locked you should have no trouble.

Coppermine support does NOT appear to be present (even though the chipset should support it), due to limitations on the voltage supplied.

This is all I could find.

I think the BM6/ZM6 have a weird thing that they support only CB0 and prior Coppermines. They cant do the 1.7 or 1.75 Vcore needed for CC0 and CD0.

I wanted to upgrade the CPU for my mom for X-mas. It currently has a 500mhz Celeron.

from me I had a abit Zm6. it did suppor the 100 mhz fsb. I was able to run a celeron 533@800 Mhz. I think it is safe to sy a 850 Mhz p3 would work in there.

So the 1.7 volt issue they address is that they won't go high enough for them? I figured it was more along the lines of they wouldn't go low enough...

So please ignore my previous post.
