P2B rev. 1.0 questions

[Jadranko Albert]

I have few questions about ASUS P2B rev. 1.0 motherboard:

1. Does it support PC133 SDRAM memory?
2. What is the maximum memory installable limit?
3. Is there a possibility of chipset's north bridge overheating (chip
doesn't have a cooler)?
4. What is the maximum CPU speed supported?

Also, few overclocking questions:

Are there any problems overclocking Celeron 300A at 450 MHz on P2B and do I
need some special cooler or the standard Titan Slot1 cooler is good enough?
Thx!

1. Does it support PC133 SDRAM memory?

Yes, but it must be the correct BX-compatible DIMMs

2. What is the maximum memory installable limit?

3 x 256MB, 768MB

3. Is there a possibility of chipset's north bridge overheating (chip
doesn't have a cooler)?

Doesn't seem to be a problem, but I usually add a thin layer of thermal
compound between the northbridge and it's heatsink.

4. What is the maximum CPU speed supported?

I ran a pair of Slot-1 300As @ 464 on a P2B-DS with the standard retail
coolers for years. Worked perfectly.
