Upgrade an ASUS P2L97ds to a PIII or celeron?

Is is possible to put in a 500mhz+ processor into this board via a slotket? I've heard that a lot of older boards with Slot-1 processors are able to accept the more recent socket processors? Has anyone had luck with this? Thanks.
 
If the P2L97 is an LX board (and I think it is), the only thing you might be able to upgrade to is a PPGA Celeron 533. Check for BIOS support first though.
 
At the asus website it says the new bios supports:

Add new P6 processors recognition
Support Intel Mendocino CPU

I'm guessing that any slot 1 PIII cpu would work but i'm not sure. Anybody know for sure? Thanks
 
Why ONLY a PPGA Celeron 533? Could I then overclock it to 800mhz or does the bios not allow it? Yes, it is an LX board.
 
What that means is that the motherboard supports PPGA celerons (mendocino core). It does NOT support any P3, socket or slot.

EDIT: You will probably have problems overclocking the PPGA 533s to 800, they rarely make it that far. Also, your motherboard doesn't officially support the 100 Mhz FSB, so it would probably be unstable even if you did make it.
