Inte l - j440LX - rev 3. What does this board max out at?

Best I can tell 500 mhz?

If I recall correctly, the LX chipset does not support FSB speeds above 66MHz. So in the LX's case, it is really processor dependent.

not looking to oc it (well not yet) but just want to know what the max processor it supports is.

Shadow,

I was looking the LX chipset boards up on the Intel site. Every board that they list only goes up to 333, and even that requires a BIOS revision.

yea I just looked at the same thing, but I know I read somewhere the board will take a max PII chip. (isn't that 450 or 500 mhz?)

Intel doesn't update their boards. At the time of it's release or while it's still current they may, but once it's obsolete they no longer update it. At the release of this board there was no PII 450 so they couldn't say it's compatable.

Sigh........guess I'll have to keep searching for that page.

Thanks for the info Nubie

I am not sure if the BIOS supports a 7.5x multiplier. By the time the PII-450 and PII-500 came out, BX boards were the norm. I suppose you could try it, as long as the voltage requirements are the same, it shouldn't matter. It will either boot, or it won't.

yea but the only way to test is is to buy the processor. Don't have one of those laying around........guess I could just throw something in and see what it's max is.

if youre lucky youll be able to run a celeron 766 in it, if youre even luckier you may oc it with softFSB or something like that. I think this board is under discussion at www.powerleap.com, they also sell slotkets that makes it possible.
