GA-K8NXP-SLI cpu upgrade?

Can anyone tell me what is the fastest CPU I can put in this MB and be
stable?

Thanks,
Jerry

The FX60 looks pretty fast. I believe it is dual core, but it is hard to get that
part of the info here.

The bottom five entries here, are the dual core Opterons from 165 to 185.

Some discussion here, about the options.

I had an opty 144 and with the memory stepped down and the HTT reduced to 1x
(have to do on this mobo) I was able to get 2.6GHz stable until I put four
sticks in and then it went down to 2.5GHz. Bought an FX55 and thought it
would be easy if it worked on a 144 but alas it BSODs all the time even at
stock voltages and speeds. Most of the time it boots at 193MHz FSB but I
cant set it to this in BIOS so I dont know why it does this.
It seems that if you want a stable system then a cheap or mid-range CPU
would offer a better upgrade path rather than splashing out on a really top
CPU.

Thanks for all the replies. I thought I would surly find someone with
this MB who has upgraded to a dual-core CPU and not had any problems.
Maybe this is a sign???
