What is fastest cpu I can use

[roten]

Hello,
Can someone please tell me the fastest cpu I can use in this motherboard? (Epox 8K3A+)
It is currently XP2000+
I have tried to find the answer on Epox site and Anandtech but was unsuccessful so hopefully some kind person here can help me out.
Thanks a lot.

From what I could find, your motherboard supports a 266 FSB and a 333 FSB, unoficially...so you could put in any processor up to a Barton 3000+ XP, but make sure it's the 333 FSB version. To do this, you will most certainly have to update your BIOS to support the faster chips...this you will have to get off the Epox website...that board dosnt look like you can OC it really well....so if you want to upgrade, you might almost want to grab a MB at the same time....but you have an OK processor right now....id wait a little while unless you really, really need to upgrade....cuz you will end up having to grab faster RAM to really take advantge of a new processor and it's speed
