I'd say speed wise you could probably run at least athlon 2000+, you
might have some problems with the 2100.

I am running an XP2100+ atm o/c to 2380....

XP2100+ became possible with bios update 1011....

The other faster 266 Mhz chips (2200,2400,2600 and 2700) will also work with
this board if you update the bios to 1015.

Then it jumps to 333 Mhz chip the 2800....

You need the asus taiwan website for all that information,a quite excellent
site if you navigate it properly.

Good luck

I went here: http://www.powerleap.com/consumer/upgradefinder.htm and after
it gathered my hardware info I sent in the form and got this back for my
board:

Suggested Answer

Hello and thank you for your inquiry.
Based upon the information provided by our Quick Upgrade Finder, there are
two upgrade choices suited for you.

The first is our brand new PL-MPIII. The PowerLeap PL-MPIII is the first
mobile CPU upgrade solution for desktop computers that employs Socket 370
(FC-PGA) Pentium III or Celeron CPUs. With the PL-MPIII, you can raise your
computer to the performance level of the new generation of Mobile Celeron
"Tualatin" processors--with speeds up to 1.33GHz. Best of all, the PL-MPIII
brings all the benefits of Intel's low-cost mobile processors to your
desktop, including SpeedStepT technology.

If you really want to make your system scream, your other choice is our
PL-370/T 1.4 P3. This product also offers a 133 MHz fsb, however the L2
cache is doubled to 512K. It's clock speed is also 200 MHz faster, at 1.4
GHz. This is the choice for those who want the fastest possible socket 370
solution. If you are doing any high end graphics work or video editing this
upgrade will out perform many Pentium 4 systems.

BIOS Installation Steps:(Leave the original CPU in for BIOS installation)
1. Unzip the downloaded file and place on a floppy disk.
2. Using your Dell manual, locate the BIOS Recovery Jumper and remove it.
3. Place the floppy in drive A: and turn the system on.
4. IMPORTANT: Do not touch anything until the system beeps twice and the
drive stops operating.
5. After the drive stops operation, remove the floppy and replace the
jumper.
6. Place the cover back on and return the unit to working order.
7. When the system is turned on, you should see an Intel screen instead of a
Dell screen.
8. Now shutdown and follow the Quick Install instructions for installation
of the adapter.

"Add Thoroughbred CPU as Athlon XP naming."

It will at least run the "Throughbred A" (2200) as I've done that in the
past, not sure about the "B" (2400 and up) though
