What Socket 370 cpu above 800Mhz could be cost effective, and work,
anyway? That board is pretty much limited to 100mhz FSB!

I have two that are dual cpu boards, but, it costs more for two Socket
370 cpus that can work together, than for an AMD 2000+ combo package
(board+CPU), with a 200Mhz FSB!<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

I bought the motherboard without a processor and wanted to know the
highest processor supported. The support site did not include information
on previous changes to the bios, only info on current changes. I
eventually found the info on a different Asus site. thanks anyway

It supports Coppermine P3s with 133Mhz FSB up to 1.0Ghz.

I bought the board, PSU & 64MB RAM for $5. Unfortunately, as you point
out, the cost of 1Ghz Coppermines are about the same as an AMD2000 combo.
The Asus is a nice board though and I might just toss in a cheap Celeron
until the P3 prices come down. I was going to use a Pentium 233 Mhz before
I bought the Asus board.
