Whats the fastest CPU an Asus P2b will support?

This is about 3 years old (exactly in fact), slot 1, 100 mhz FSB, currently housing a P2 350. I'm not sure of its voltage support however...

Could I throw a p3 800 in here or a high end C2? I don't mind overclocking but I don't wanna go above 112 FSB.

With the newest bios and a slocket adapeter you should be able to run any 100 fsb processor but it will run at1.8v. At least this is how it is for the asus p2b-d.

If you want to stick with Slot 1, you'll probably max out with a Katmai 600. That's the way it is with my P2B-LS, which has rev 1.03, and is almost as old as your board (rev 1.04 supports Coppermine). You'll also need the 1012 bios.

Thanks guys - looks like maybe its gonna be too much hassel afterall Considering that you can get a Tbird in a cereal box now I think I'll probably just end up getting one of those. I have no idea what to do with this old thing though...

Sounds like you have already made up your mind, but just wanted to mention if you have not already looked, asus is real good about posting stuff to their site about processor support. You can check out this link to see if your board supports copppermines. Hope this helps http://www.asus.com.tw/products/techref/Cpu/Coppermine/index.html

P2B- I have one too.
1.8v
P3-700 @ 933mhz
Pc 133 ram
voodoo5-550 at 89mhz agp bus
Most tnt-gforce cards can handle this bus speed too.
