Compatible upgrade components (PII to PIII)?

[jjonn]

Present configuration:
Enlight 7101 w/250w PS
ASUS P2B-F (100 FSB), Intel PII-350 (o/c to 433)
Corsair CM734S64-BX 8X72 ECC PC100 cert, unbuffered (10ns?)
IBM 10 GB HDD, Toshiba 5x DVD, 1.44 Floppy
Win95B.

Will my motherboard/memory support a PIII-750 (requires 100 FSB & 8ns)?
If not, suggestions ???

Well the answers my friend lie here http://www.asus.com.tw/products/techref/Cpu/p3cpu.html

Check to see if you have the correct PCB and bios version, from this table. You should be alright with the RAM as its 100MHZ but I suggest you e-mail asus!

If you havent got the correct bios version but have got correct PCB version then check here: http://www.asus.com.tw/products/software1.html

That should sort you out

Thanks Dave

Your links caused me to travel through many ASUS sites (help, support, message boards/groups).
Bottom line: Many obstacles due to my P2B-F.
I ordered a PIII-550 (retail) for $176 - looks like the most 'Bang for my Buck' until a major upgrade in the distant future.
