I'm thinking about buying this motherboard but am wanting to put in an Intel P2-450 and an Intel P3-500 in it. Is this possible? LMK

Thanks
 
That has a 440LX chipset, so it can only officially do 66mhz bus cpu's. The fastest P2 will be a 333. It will probably be able to run some sort of celeron, possibly up to a ppga 533 on a slotket. Anything above that and they become coppermine based and take a different voltage.
 
So the mobo won't run my processors. BTW the P2 is actually 450. It's running one of my 4 comps now and through dxdiag and Sanda both say that it's a P2 at 450mhz. Unless I understood you wrong, which is totally possible. 🙂
 
That motherboard will not run a Pentium 2 higher than a 333mhz, as it uses the 66mhz front side bus. Pentium 2 350-450's run on the 100mhz fsb. It doesn't support Pentium 3's at all. So no, neither one of those proccessors will work on that motheboard.
