Abit BX6-R2 question

[BigRedFan]

Well, the time has come to upgrade my BX6-r2/Celeron 300A(450) combo. If I make sure that I download the latest BIOS, could I run one of those illustrious PIII 700E or Celeron 566 processors in my BX6-r2? And if so, will I be able to overclock the FSB to 133? I can't find my original manual or any other source of info on this, so you guys are my last hope. =) Help!

Yes yes yes.

Just need a slocket,

i'm using 550E @ 5.5x133 = 733Mhz 1.7V
Matrox G400 @ 89Mhz
CL TNT2 Ultra @ 89Mhz
IWill Slocket 2

A lot of people here has the same setup.

Make sure you get slocket thats for FC-PGAs

You da man! Thanks for the help. Going looking for prices on the hardware I'll need now. Oh, another quick question. Does the BX6-r2 have the 1/4 speed PCI divider that alot of the newest BX boards have? I'm guessing it would, but wanted to be sure before going any further. Some of my PCI stuff will most assuredly choke on a 1/3 divider at 133mhz. Also, is there anywhere I could go to find out stuff like this instead of pestering you fine folks?

Mine does, do, yours should, just hit <DEL> on start up and goto the FSB selector and hit F1 for help, it should show all the FSB selections available.
