I would say that you can't put a P3 chip in a P2 socket.

Download some specs from Asus here:

From that it looks like a P2 - 333Mhz or Celeron 466Mhz is the max

Hmmm... I once had a aOpen board that supported both P II and P III Slot 1
(AX64 pro)... I already have a PIII 550 (100 x 5.5) and wonder if, with a
matching pair (I'll find another one on eBay), I can do something with this
ASUS motherboard.

I fear that P II will be too "Slow" for the app. I wish to use with this
Mobo. For sure I won't run Windows Server 2003 on that machine (this will
probably be a little Linux file server) but I want to hane some
responsiveness from it. I'm asking the question because I have this board
with all the SCSI kit (and it is working) and this could avoid me to buy
another board.

Thanks

Not all cpus are capable of SMP. Check before buying.

And what about the multiplier? Can I go further than 5.5 ?
