I just got my hands on this beauty, and it has dual cpu slots on the board, I was wondering how fast of a cpu can go in this board? I read on IBMs site that it comes with a PII Xeon, but some at work I know have PIIIs in them. I want to max out the cpu in this thing, I already have a gig of ram for it and a 30 GB hdd and will play around with linux on it, want it to be as fast as possible. I THINK it might be the 6889 model number, but am unsure as I am not at work right now, the price is right, free! I coudn't find on IBM's site how fast of a cpu these computer use, its deffinitly an older Mpro, not the newer P4 ones ;-) I looked in the retail motherboard section to post this question but there wasn't an IBM area, so I hope this is in the right place...

I THINK I can use any cpu with 100 Mhz FSB, however, is there a voltage limitation like, the motherboard may only support 2.0 Volt core voltages or something? or maybe bios?
