I am interested in upgrading my processor. I am currently using a p4 3.0ghz and its been running kinda slow. the motherboard has a 800 mhz fsb what would be the fastest chip i could put in there? anyone have any experience with this mother board? thanks.

in only has the SiS 656 shipset so you are stuck in the pentium d catagory, that gives you a max of the pentium D 960

the only SiS chipsets to support core 2 duo's are the SiS672 range and the SiS671 rangethe SiS 656 only support the P4 cpus and hence the P-D's, making the 960 your top choice. If you dont belive me have a look yourself this shows your chipset is SiS656 http://uk.asus.com/search.aspx?searc...rchkey=p5sd2-x and this shows your chipset doesnt support C2D http://www.sis.com/products/product_000001.htm
