How fast of a CPU can I put into my motherboard.

[algae]

I have an Asus P2-99B (slot 1). The manual says it will take up to a PIII 500 chip but will it take any slot 1 CPU? I think I can get a 700mhz slot 1 chip.
Thanks for any info.

Most boards will up their processor speed compatibility with a bios update. Then again, it may accept your 700 off the top.

If I'm reading the jumper settings right, these settings below should set the board to accept a Pentium III at 700mhz. I didn't find any documentation of the board being able to work with a Coppermine though.
You might want to get input from someone else, that's had some actual experience setting up one of these board at this speed.

FS0 1-2
FS1 1-2
FS2 1-2
FS3 2-3

BF0 2-3
BF1 1-2
BF2 2-3
BF3 1-2
