Hi all,

My two year old BH7 & P4 / 2.4GhZ / 533fsb is starting to get a little long
in the tooth now and I'm not got as much time to tweak around as I used to,
so I'm looking to spend just a few quid and upgrade the CPU to the fastest
possible.

Can anyone advise :--

1. What is the best fastest processor I'll be able to put in the board (and
make full use of!!)

2. Does it *really* support 800fsb

3. What about Hyperthredaing technology? Dies it support it?

I reacll when I first bought the board that things were very vague about
what it could really do as 800fsb and HT technoilogy were just taking off.

thanks

This is taken from the Abit homepage for the BH7:

Supports Intel Pentium® 4 Socket 478 processors with 800 MHz FSB (OC)
Supports Intel Pentium® 4 Socket 478 processors with 533/400 MHz FSB
Supports Intel Hyper-Threading Technology

Answers to your questions:

1. Official chipset support - P4 3.06 northwood. Overclocked support - P4 3.4 northwood. I doubt it supports prescotts.

2. No. 800 fsb is achieved through overclocking.

3. Yes.
