What is the highest CPU that can be used with the A7X8X-X motherboard?
The box says up to 2700+ while the manual and website don't seem to give
any exact information. As long as the CPU has a FSB of 333 can I use a
3000+ CPU? Is there a noticeable difference in speed between the 2700+
and 3000+ CPU's as the both have a speed of 2.167GHz? Thanks!

I have a 3000+ (2.167ghz) with that board, works great.

I have an xp 2400 mobile which is rated as a 266 fsb, but I have mine at
400 MHz. It's overclocked to 2205 GHz.
Plus I've had it oc'd even higher..........over 2400 GHz which is beyond xp
3200 rating.
