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.

Still got the motherboard manual?
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
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...

Hmmm, never heard of Jetway, is your computer made by Tiny or Time?
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.
