if 900 is what is in there now, and without even doing any research, I would probably say a 1.4GHz thunderbird.

I had one of those, and I want to say it could handle up to 1800+.... MSI seems to be getting rid of old products quickly. I was never very impressed by them.

it supports 266FSB right? If it does, the max cpu is dependent on the max clock multipliers it supports. You could get a 2600+ 266FSB if it supports the multiplier. but 266FSB 2600+ is rare.

They work fine for me.

I believe that board only supports the 0.18u process CPUs. I wouldn't buy anything until you hear from someone that has used the processor first hand. R
