What is the fastest CPU compatible with ASUS TUSL-C

Hi all!

I would say that list is a bit conservative.
Especially for older boards, that often can take a lot hotter CPUs
through slockets like the "PowerLeap ip3/T".
I have found this to be true specifically about my P3B-F.
Wich, according to that list, shouldn't be able to take any 133MHz FSB
CPUs. But it does just fine (at least it handles my 733/133 just fine).
I guess one could say:
What's in that list will definitely work right away.
Other options might need some tweaking (or aid by special accessories,
like slockets with selfcontained voltage regulation for example).

The user manual will probably mention that the board is S370 and
not a Slot-1. It will say that the board is Tualatin compatible. The
only thing I see missing is the 1.4-S/133/512KB processor, and that
is probably an oversight. The Celeron (Tualatin) 1400 is 1400/100/256KB
and Intel lists it as drawing roughly the same Vcore current. So, those
are the fastest processors. Because the board is Tualatin compatible,
the Vcore circuit will go down to 1.3V and the board should be
able to handle anything.

About the only thing you might need is a microcode update.

HTH,
