what the max cpu i can support?

[stevty2889]

Well if he has 5 pci slots then it's not micro atx..now you have to figure out which revision it is..V2.0 supports 533mhz FSB, but V1.0 only supports 400mhz FSB..

how do i find that out

 

[theMan]

it should be printed somewhere on the mobo. on mine, the revision number is between the pci slots. if you can find the model number printed on the mobo, it should be right next to that.

 

[tvdang7]

well lets say the max is 400 fsb...whats the highest speed he can go? 2.8?

 

[stevty2889]

Yes, the highest 400mhz FSB chip is the 2.8.

Why not download a copy of Sandra, it will tell you exactly what motherboard it has.

edit: nevermind someone suggested CPU-Z that will do the same job just not as detailed.
