To the experts,

Is is possible to use a PIII 667Mhz 133FSB Slot 1 CPU on an ASUS P2B
motherboard even though the particular motherboard was designed for a PII
Slot 1 CPU? If yes, can I expect reliable performance?

Thanks for the help.

At 133MHz FSB, your AGP speed will be very high, and your videocard might
not like that.
You can always run the CPU at 100MHz FSB, at 500MHz if you want to be
completely in spec.
