I have P2B-B rev. 1.02, Product S/N : p2b-b/350-u, p. no M6P480-T0U with celeron 433 MHz processor (on a slot1 with adapter) running and I am thinking
about an upgrade now (better late than never ;)).

What is the highest / quickest processor I could use with this motherboard?

Cheers!

Welcome to the Forums and the addiction!

This page is convoluted, but explains it well:

Essentially, it will support most slot-1s, socket 370s using compatible slotket adapters and Tualatin processors using powerleap adapters. The 133FSB setting is an overclocked setting for the board and may require hardware modifications to keep the PCI and AGP frequencies at spec. Your best inexpensive bet, without modifications, would probably be a higher frequency PIII socket 370 with 100Mhz FSB. The fastest and most expensive option would be a Tualatin PIII with 256K of L2 cache using a Powerleap adapter.
