Is P3 1Ghz 133 BUS the fastest I can run on my Asus CUSL2-C ?

I have not been in the building/upgrading mode for a while and I cannot figure out these new intel procesors and motherboards. Any way I can upgrade to MORE than 1 Ghz with this Asus CUSL2-C MB (or do I need to tade in for a new MB to get to the 1.5-1.9 Ghz stuff). the P3 1 Gig does not help much since I am running my P3700 at 933.

The fastest non-Tualatin processors are the Pentium III 1.1GHz and Celeron 1.1GHz. Not much of an improvement really.

You will need to go to a Tualatin supporting motherboard if you want to stay with the Pentium III architecture....I suggest the TUSL2-C (it's exactly the same as the CUSL2-C, but with Tualatin support), or you will pretty much need to go a full trade in for a Pentium 4 supporting system.

I'm sure someone will also chime in about switching to an AMD processor as well.

if you can find a 1GHz p3 100fsb, you may be able to o/clock it to 124 or even 133fsb.
one member here runs his 1GHz p3 at over 1.4GHz!

Wha ASUS MB would I buy to use the P4's over 1.6 Ghz and NOT have to buy the really expensive RAM ? I guess I better start looking into this stuff again becuase I am way behind the curve on memory MB's and CPU's

I'm in the exact same boat, same board. Got'a 566 at 850.

Hey, there's the P3 1.1 flipchip 100FSB. Why wouldn't that work guys? If ten's the limit multiplyer, will a $150 P3 1.1 underclock to a 10 multiplier (for us on a budget)? Then maybe push it to 133 or so, 1.33ghz?

yeah but almost Intel CPUs are multiplier locked. I thought u knew that.

Mmmm. Oh yea. I haven't been paying attention to the OC issues lately as I wasn't in the market. Forgot about that. I guess this is just going to be another relatives PC here shortly.
