Fastest cpu for this Deskpro?

Got a P400/6939($1 to anyone who can find an online manual for it) and
i'm wondering how fast a cpu it would take?

It's a BX mb with no soft bios. the jumpers on the board only go as high
as 6x100mhz.

P2's look like they stop at 450mhz & P3's start at 450. P2's run at
2.05/2v and I know that some P3's run at the same voltage.

Katmai P3's (AKA Mendocino, the predecessor to Coppermine)
also run at 2 or 2.05V, but the fastest Katmai is 600MHz:

Multipliers are locked on P3's so the 6x limitation on the system
board won't limit the actual cpu speed, but the real problem is the
core voltage. Don't try and run a Coppermine at 2.05V, you'll
probably fry it.

i figure i'm looking at a
P3/600/L2512/100mhz/2v
or
P3/600e/L2256/100/2v

As is any P3 with a 256K L2 cache. All Katmai P3s have 512K.

The latter CPU is a Coppermine. Don't try it. Any P3 with an "E" is
a Coppermine and requires 1.6-1.7V.

okay than i guess the page i was looking at is wrong. said the 600e was
2v

I was curious so I looked around a bit. How much are you willing to
spend on this project?
