ASUS P3 B-F Upgrade CPU

[photojoe63122]

Hi, I'm living in China where English info is pretty thin and rumors are thicker than flies. I have an ASUS P3 B-F w/ a P2 400 and I want to upgrade to the highest CPU allowable. P3 800/100 CPUs are no longer sold here and I'd like to try a 133 bus CPU anyway, but there's a lot of conflicting and incomplete info out there (particularly on ASUS' frustrating pages). This will be my first overclocking attempt so I want to get all the setting and jumper info beforehand - can anyone help? No nugget of help or insight would be considered too small! Thanks!

With a Slocket adaptor such as the Iwill 2 or Asus 370 with adjustable voltage settings you can run any P3 except Tualatin core.
At 133 fsb the AGP will be aat 89-90mhz. Most newer cards can handle this without a problem.

I aint signing nothing!!!

Rick's right, you can run a PIII 1000EB on it.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

I love those boards. I have one with a Katmai on it somewhere...

As Rick and Crashman said, or you could run a Tualatin with a Powerleap adaptor. That's a fair bit of money to spend 'tho.
