Upgrading ABIT BX6 rev2

[Zombie]

I have celeron 466 at 525 running on Abit BX R2 using Abit sloketI(PPGA to slot1). I am thinking of upgrading and have bunch of questions so plz. bare with me.

Here is the list of rest of system:
Voodoo3, SBlive, 1 NIC, SBLive value, 2 10GB WD, 1 stick of Micron cas2 128m and 1 stick of 64m cas3 both PC100 oops and a adaptec SCSI card PCI.

Now my question is what CPU would you guys suggest i go with? I have the latest bios and according to specs on Abit website the new bios supports as high a P3 700 100 FSB. Needless to say i would like to replace as little as possible while i go with the new CPU. Infact I might add a stick of 256m Micron and later upgrade to better quality Hard Drive but for now where do i start as far as the CPU part is concerned.

Now I have been away from the hardware scean for a little while so help me out here fellows.

I tried posting this in the other thread but looks like that one is old and will get little to no attention.

thankx

Upgrade to the QR bios (if not already done) and ABIT officially supports up to a PIII-700E or a 633MHZ Clelron II (with appropriate Slocket - MSI and IWILL Slocket II work well - make sure your slocket will support FC-PGA Coppermine).

Unofficially, any 100 MHZ FSB PIII up to and including the PIII-900 MHZ have been reported to work - though you need to select the FSB and multiplier manually for PIII above 700MHZ. The 133FSB versions are not recommended due to the lack of a 1/2 AGP divider but some graphics cards will accept the overclocked AGP. Celerons above 633 are not supported at this time and are not recommended - no multiplier above 9.5 with the BX-6's bios.

I'm running a PIII-800E @ 117FSB PCI/4 with V3-2000 @ 170MHZ, etc, etc. All works well and though the PCI is slightly underclocked, my disk transfer rates still run a constant 29.3MB/S so it's still very fast. I have 2 PCI network cards, DVD decoder, Firewire interface and SB AWE32 (a classic) running at 935 (approx) MHZ and stable as the proverbial rock. It's capable of 992 with equal stability but slightly more heat so I'm happy at 935 - works great!

You can run a Celeron2 633 at 950 on this board. Fast!
