Asus A7V266E-Raid, highest cpu possible?

[fantasi]

hi there,

i have the motherboard above and was wondering what is the highest cpu i can put it. It is 2years old so i doubt that it will work on the Barton core. I went to the Asus webpage and it says 550~1.4Ghz, but i am currently using the 1800+ so im like =\....can i safely presume it will work on any of the palomino cpus? which is about the 2400+?

need help guys...

thx

ok found it...with teh 1011 bios change i can get the 2600+. Still wonder if i can get the barton core tho....anyone?

doubt it mate as the barton core runs at 333mhz, and your chipset has a 266mhz top end so stick with the throughbread cores 🙂
