Processor, Memory for GA-8PE667?
 

I have a GA-8PE667 Ultra MB. What is the fastest CPU I can use on this
board? It is a Socket 478 for Intel Micro FC-PGA2. The manual says it has
a 533/400MHz FSB, and it supports Intel Pentium 4 (Northwood, 0.13um) and
Hyper-Thread technology.

Also, can I use PC3200 DIMM memory (DDR400)? The manual says it supports
DDR333/DDR266 DIMM's.

Concerning the CPU, what would you recommend?

Thanks.

You can put any 0.13um Intel P4 that has a 533/400MHz FSB.I think the
fastest 533 MHz P4 is clocked at 3.06 or 3.22.

No you can't use DDr400 'cause they're made to be used on a 800MHz FSB
mobo.533MHz FSB mobo supports up to DDR333.
