I am planning to upgrade my P.C which I have had for years, i have looked though my specs and found i have a Jetway 663AS PRO motherboard and i wanted to know if anyone outthere can tell me what is the fastest C.P.U i can use with it, i have tried the jetway website but it tells me nothing, I found the other day that it was possible to use a A.M.D Duron 1.4 Ghz but i am not sure. I appreciate any help anyone can offer.

I have a Jetway, made by a local PC shop. When it says reserves future support it means that you have to download a BIOS update. I can understand your want to upgrade, after all you can pick up a 1300 Duron for about £25 where as a new motherboard and a new, even faster CPU is going to start getting expensive.
Can't remember the website address, do a search for jetway through google and you should probably find it. It has the BIOS updates and various other information.

Hmmm, never heard of Jetway, is your computer made by Tiny or Time?
put it this way, colonel. get a new motherboard.
some are as cheap as chips (joke intended) and they are much more up-to-date than the one you have. my Gigabyte KT400 is a neat thing and it was about 70 quid, and it can support Athlon XP's up to 3000+. now that's power. and as a side point it can take 3 DDR RAM up to 400mhz. though i don't know why because you need 3200+ to run it at 400mhz...or so i was told...

Yes, it says "support AMD Duron 600-750MHz processor" it also says "Reserves support for future AMD Duron Processors, the computer at the moment is running a 800MHz Duron so it must run faster then 750MHz
Still got the motherboard manual?
