What processor?

Mar 8, 2004 9:15AM PST

I have a Microstar MS-6378 motherboard. The manual says it supports Athlon XP 1900+ MHz and higher processors. How high can it go? What do I need to look for to choose the right processor?

Basically, any AMD XP processor with a 266mhz FSB. The new XP "Barton" would probably not work, as they are 333mhz & 400mhz FSB processors. The highest it says is the AMD XP 2600+.
