Hi all,

I have a Soyo 7SBB Socket 370 AT-style mobo currently running a Cel 533 processor running at 66MHz.  It's not bad but I fell it's just a bit slow to run certain games properly.  The motherboard is supposed to support 100MHz FSB.  In the manual it says "This Motherboard is designed to be able to support processors with 100MHz FSB. However,Socket 370 processors with 100MHz FSB are not available yet at this moment for testing."

Can one of you kindly advise what CPU's I can possibly use?  Can I use FC-PGA processors that are faster in this mobo?  How do I know what the highest processor speed that I can use?  I see there is a setting in the BIOS to adjust the Bus speed for the CPU.

The following are the features listed in this revision of the manual (latest available):
Supports Intel Celeron TM processors (300A-500MHz)

Ø Auto-detect CPU voltage

Ø PC98, ACPI, Ultra DMA/33

Ø Supports system memory up to 1.5G bytes

Ø SOYO COMBO Setup

Ø Power-on by modem or alarm

Ø Supports Wake-On-LAN (WOL)

Ø Supports onboard hardware monitoring and

includes Hardware monitor utility

Ø Supports Creative SB-LINKÔ (PC-PCI) for

PCI audio card

Ø 1 x 32-bit AGP slot

Ø 3 x 32-bit bus master PCI slots

Ø 2 x 16-bit ISA slot

Ø 2 x USB ports

Ø 1 x IrDA port

Ø Supports multiple-boot function

Ø AT & ATX power connectors

Ø Y2K Compliant

Any Help Appreciated.
