I plan to build a compact matx system for win 98 and dos, my mainboard is a Biostar M6TBE ( https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/biostar-m6tbe )which offers 2 times isa which is very convenient for our hobby. Does anyone know what the maximum CPU is that can be installed on the mainboard? According to the manual it should only be a Pentium 2 450, does p3 really fall out? and if so who could modify a bios for it?

I have an M6TBD that I got running with a Tualatin back in the day.
