16295 2001-07-31 00:18:00 Is there a tidy way of finding out the limit of a Motherboard's capacity in terms of processor speed/type etc? For example, I would like to buy a GIGABYTE 6VXC7-4X-P m/board. If the manual does not specify, how do I know what speed of processor I am limited to? I have checked www.dfi.com - any suggestions?

the gigabye web page reports it has a maximum multiplier of 9.5, and while it supports a FSB of 150, it would be safe to say it's maximum CPU speed would be 1.2Ghz (133x9.5)

If you want to visit the site, the link is:

If you are looking for an extremely upgradable motherboard try the abit VH6T www.abit.com.tw/ or the Gigabyte 6OXET http:
