Fastest processor supported by SE-440BX-2 mobo?

Hi
What is the fastest processor supported by the Intel SE-440BX-2 motherboard? The Intel website says 850mhz,but someone told me it can support much faster processors.I have a P2, 400 mhz at present and am thinking of upgrading,but hanging on to my mobo.Any suggestions?

850MHz is the highest it will go. Because it is a intel board it has no o/c options and no support for the 133MHz bus. So buying a cpu with 133MHz bus would cause the cpu to run with a 100MHz bus, which would suck.

the fastest 100fsb p3 is 1GHz!
