Greetings,

I have a friend who has an ECS motherboard model M935 and was considering a processor upgrade. I have been to the ECS site and punched in the numbers and nothing was found. Am i looking in the wrong place?...

Ok, so here is question #1; What is the max processor i can place on this board?...It currently has a socket 478 intel celeron 1.7ghz cpu....

....here is question #2; is the current processor overclock-able"?......thanks again!
 
1: not sure right now, ECS's site hasn't been kind to my internet lately...

2: every processor is overclockable. but it's an ECS motherboard, don't expect alot from it.

Most boards dont actually list the highest supported processor speed. The P4 line didnt get that high with the 533Mhz bus, so I would think that any P4 which has a 533Mhz bus would work in that motherboard.

....thanks for the reply...well look, i am relativly certain that i can't just whack in a 3.6ghz processor in this thing..it has to have a limitation as to how large/fast a processor i can run on this board..i have been to the ecs site and the site is of no help at all at this point.....thanks anyway.......anyone else?
 
I think the highest 533MHz CPU that is still sold that I've seen is a 2.8 Northwood. It's an alright CPU but it's still expensive for what it is now adays.
