    Fastest CPU for ABIT BH6?

    Anyone know what the fastest chip this board can handle? Right now I've got a FcPGA Celeron 566 in a slot1-socket (473?) adapter card, and it's overclocked to 850 MHz.

    Been real stable past 3-4 years, but want to max out the CPU.

    I'm thinkin a P3 1GHz, but am hoping I can push it further. Any ideas?

    P3 1.13 works perfect!

    This sounds wrong. Isn't the P3 1.13 based on a 133MHz FSB? My ABIT BH6 only has 66 or 100 MHz FSB. Maybe the better question is: What is the fastest P3 that can run on a 100MHz FSB?

    100 FSB?

    I don't think then th 1.13, 933 maybe works! I think there were 933 for 100 fsb!

    OK, I will look into it some more. I will try to find out the fastest P3 to work on a 100 MHz FSB.

    Erm are you sure P-IIIs operate at such a low FSB? I would swear even a P-II doesn't... :shrug:

    Yes, definately - all the original P3s do. But at around 1GHz they moved up to 133. I'm trying to find the fastest P3 running at 100.
