ASUS CUBX and CPU
I am so confused as to what to buy for this motherboard.
Ive read on the ASUS site that the motherboard can support up to a P3 1GHZ and a Celeron 1.1GHZ. What I dont understand is what model to buy. If I look on eBay the processors usually have a code name like Coppermine or Malay and also a CPU code like SL52R. From what I can tell, I can use any of the Coppermines for this motherboard but what should I look for as far as specs so that the CPU will be compatible. For example here is one sSpec Number SL52R Processor Frequency 1.00 GHz CPUID String 068A Package Type 370 pin PPGA Core Voltage 1.750 Bus Speed 133 MHz Thermal Guideline 29.0W Core Stepping cD0 Thermal Spec 75°C L2 Cache Size 256 KB Manufacturing Technology 0.18 micron L2 Cache Speed 1.00 GHz Bus/Core Ratio 7.5 |

Watch your BIOS options to make sure it's running at the right speed -- i.e. if it first boots showing that it's a 750MHz processor, you have to adjust the FSB speed to 133MHz manually. |

What BIOS revision are you using?
