what is the fastest cpu I can use for p4b266-c?
asus web page says 2.2Ghz p4 and celeron but I would like to find out if

The chipset of the motherboard is Intel845D.

Good question.

This asus site states no:

http://www.asus.com/inside/Techref/p4fsb533.htm

But it is possible to find results of running P4 1.8 GHz at @2.4 GHz.

That is a P4 fsb400 run as 18x133.

4x133=533, so it can do it.

You see Duckers hardware specification here:

This page states that there exist an fsb400 version of 2.6 GHz, that
runs on p4b266-c from pcb version 1005.002

Check your pcb mumber. It is normally printed among the pci slots.

I also found this article about oc with your motherboard:

Here is another good thread:

I am afraid I can't do it better for you than that.

Well, bios download:
The beta bios from here should be fine:

what about 400mhz fsb processors.

This page states that there exist an fsb400 version of 2.6 GHz, that
runs on p4b266-c from pcb version 1005.002

i think that is for the bios version.
Anyone knows how to find out CPU support by looking inside flash upgrade
bios file?
