Wes- some help again

Wes,

You were kind to help me with the question below. After that, events
happened that had me postpone the cpu upgrade.
I would like to purchase a new cpu but a bit confused when I go to
priceline as to which cpu is compatible. What is the specific
nomenclature I should look for?

Thanks,

GA

I checked the Athlon website and it says I can only go to 1.4mhz max
with the Biostar M7MIA 1.x board (Award BIOS). I currently have 1.2mhz
AMD 761 rev 2 chipset.

Is that true or can I use a higher rated cpu?


No, yes.


If so, which ones are compatible?


All of them.


If not, can I overclock -how and how high?


Multiplier x FSb = cpu speed.


I would like to get the max mhz possible since I will be doing a lot of
video editing and capture.


The AMD 761 supports a 133MHz FSB. 24x133.34 = 3200MHz. That's the top
speed you can get without overclocking the FSB. There are currently no AND
Athlon cpu's that run over 2250MHz (unless overclocked). See link below.
I'd probably suggest a 2400+ for your board.
