I wanna help a friend extend the life of his BX setup, he is currently running a celly 300a @ 450 for last well close to 2 yrs.
I would give him a cheap p3-733 I can buy but can this board accpet this chip? Quote below
Another critical aspect is the support for a 133 MHz FSB. Officially, the BX chipset does not officially support this speed, and setting it to this frequency would run the AGP interface out of spec, since AGP is always clocked at 2/3 of the FSB. At 133 MHz FSB, that would mean an AGP clock speed of 89 MHz - too high for most cards
He is using a geforce MX400 would this handle the 89 mhz agp speed, looks like I may be better to try to find a p3 700
