The 810 chipset supports 100MHz FSB. Not sure about 133MHz, though. The specs
on the Intel web site will explain.

The 810 and 810e (lower voltage CPUs) were Intel's low cost chips for P3 and
Celeron, and may have a limitation. The 815 was the high end chip for P3s and
Celerys. Both support a max of 512MB memory only... Ben Myers

According to your software, it *should* be able to accept a 1Ghz CPU (either
a Slot1 Coppermine, or a Socket 370 CPU running on SLOT1/S370 adapter card)

Perhaps even a 1.4Ghz Tualatin Core P3. You might need a BIOS update in both
cases.

I recently upgraded an old P90 (single rail voltage) wich couldn't use
faster than P100 to a AMD k6-2 450 CPU. It came with a Powerleap adapter
(www.powerleap.com). Runs like a champ.


Have a look at http://www.powerleap.com/PL-iP3T.jsp

It will probably work, my IBM machine was not on the compatibility list for
my adapter yet it still works.

(Ebay is a good start to buy those adapters

On a side note, the CPU might not run at its optimal speed, since the FSB is
at 66MHZ on your machine.
