What max CPU will the Intel 810/810E support?

[amheck]

I just got an all-in-1-system to use as a second computer for now. Just got it today, and already I am thinking about how I want to upgrade it. I won't, but I am just curious as to the limitations, if any, are with the 810.

The computer's mainboard has the PGA socket and the Intel 810 chipset. The manual says it supports 66/100/133 bus.

What's the max Mhz CPU that this mainboard will support? Will it support the new 733Mhz Celeron or the even higher Mhz PGA Coppermines?

Thanks, Aaron

i have a coppermine PIII 500, so i know it supports that did you check intel's web site for info?

In theory it will support up to 1ghz - as it supports the 133mhz FSB and the FC-PGA format. The multiplier is irrelevant in Intel CPUs as it is all generated with CPU circuitry. It may not actually state the full speed of the CPU, but it should run with full speed as long as the FSB is correct. The i810 is used in some OEM 'business' systems with fast CPUs (800mhz+), so I think it should work for you. You know of course that there is no external AGP slot in the i810 - so plugging in a 1ghz PIII may not be the best idea.
