Steven Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 (edited) At the time that the board was manufactured Intel only produced a Max of 1.5GHz. So when ASUS goes to put the board in the box they label it "MAX 1.5GHz" just to be "on the safe side"...... However: The fastest Pentium 4 that uses Socket 423 is a 2.0GHz. Update your BIOS and your system will have support for such a cpu. ASUS P4T CPU SUPPORT: Edited August 3, 2004 by xStainDx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
