So I have this motherboard from an old E-machine.
I think it came with a 433Mhz cpu.

It's been a few years so I only have the motherboard and can't remember the specs of the machine.

The cpu socket on the mother board says "PGA 370".

So my question is what is the fastest cpu this motherboard can support.

I'm putting this machine together for a friend who only really needs to check email , surf web etc.

Sweetness,
Mer.

Highest that goes is a 533 MHz Celeron (the original, black socket-370 model, not the later green ones).
