A7V333 and CPU support

[Guest]

I'm trying to find out which CPU's the A7V333 motherboard can support.
Currently it's using an AMD Athlon XP 1800+ which has failed - BIOS reports
the CPU has failed a system test. I'm trying to sort out a warranty
replacement for the CPU through AMD but would also like to know if it will
support a faster processor anyway.
The firmware loaded is Av33317.
The Asus support web site seems to have changed and the CPU tool isn't
working. I can't get manuals either. One message did indicate their website
was very busy.

Thanks for any advice
Mike

The CPU tool is working now.

one without problem.
