Can motherboards be upgraded for faster cpus than intended?

Hi
My motherboard specs are below. The manual says that the fastest cpu
this motherboard can take is a 1.3GHz one. Can the motherboard be upgraded
to take faster CPUs?

Have you looked at Jetway's web site? Might be as simple as a bios flash,
or it might be a no go. Start at the motherboard manufacturers site first.

Probably nothing faster than a Duron will work, and it wouldn't be a
good upgrade anyway since the chipset, being limited to around 110MHz
FSB, would be a major bottleneck for anything demanding. The board
was also designed before the later AMD CPU power consumption specs
were known, so there's a pretty good chance it'd be instable or
degrade quickly if it could run any significantly faster CPU.

its quite happy with the 1G Athlon in it at the mo, the manual says
that that is fine up to 1.3 anyway
