Don't think so. The P2B series has a BX Chipset which doesn't support 133 MHz. However, I have heard people running it at 133 but this isn't supported. But it is the best Chipset I have seen so far. > On this board I want to run dual P3-700e's. So Don't think so either. The P2B-LS has only one CPU slot. -Andre > far, i've done to bootup... and things seem to work, but if I'm going to > have problems in the future...
