Hi,

I currently have an P4 2.6Mz overclocked to 2.8Mz running on a ASUS
P4S8X-X motherboard (
http://www.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=P4S8X-X&langs=01 ) with 1GB Memory
in two sticks of 512BM. I am running WinXP Professional with SP
updated.

I want to upgrade my processor without changing the motherboard. How
far can I go? Which P4 Processor can I upgrade to at a Maximum?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Burzin
