Good evening all,
I'm building a retro system based off the ECS P6BAP-A+Motherboard, the chipset is an Apollo Pro 133.
I'm having trouble finding the information as to the best cpu it supports and it's max supported ram capacity.
It seems to support any coppermine P3, although i'm getting some conflicting information.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Thank you, I did notice that this is the Rev 1.0, I'm not sure if that changes things. It currently has a 433 mhz ppga celeron.
I was doing some research, and it seems to me that the ppga cpus and the fc-pga cpus like the higher clocked pentium IIIs aren't interchangeable, they require fc-pga compatible mobo, do you know anything about this?
