I have this motherboard but got no SLOT-2 processors. Manual says 450 up to 550MHz. I'm looking to buy a pair and would like to know if faster cpus are also supported?

Motherboard is rev. 1.04.

Thanks

A 700 MHz one should work: https://eu-rma.asus.com/support/FAQ/faq084_CPU_Upgrade_I.htm
There are people running 900 MHz on this board: Re: My Ongoing Retro Rig Project - Xeon Prime

Great... good to know. For now I'll get the cheapest ones as I don't know it the board works at all.

Thanks

900/2m cpus will work, HOWEVER, you have to buy the right ones. They must be the 2.8V versions. All p3's above 550mhz will either be 2.8v or 5/12v. This is a cpu-world page of the 900mhz cpu: www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Pentium-III/Inte ... 002M).html

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
