I have a gateway G6-450 that I bought last year because it was the exact machine our family had in 1998. The motherboard has a WS440BX intel chipset that states in the manual that the maximum cpu it can support is a pentium 2 450 which it currently has.
I'm wondering what is the fastest CPU I can use with this motherboard? I believe the board can only support 100 fsb, but I'm not sure how or if I can provide a cpu with anything other than 2v which the pentium ii in it currently uses. Would a pentium iii 700 SL3XM work with this motherboard, or would I not be able to get the right voltage of 1.65v?
