Hi there,

The ASUS website has the user manual in PDF format:
http://www.asus.com/pub/asus/mb/slot1/440bx/p3b-f/p3bf-105.pdf

On page 19 it has a list of supported processors, with fastest being a
Pentium III 700 Mhz

Some third party sites give the maximum as...

Pentium III 600
http://www.hardwarezone.com/reviews/mb/asus_p3bf/p3bf.htm

Pentium III 550
http://www.hardwarecentral.com/hardwarecentral/reviews/889/3/

Pentium III 850
http://www.computing.net/cpus/wwwboard/forum/1965.html

Pentium III 800
http://www.ocia.net/reviews/asusp3bf/p3bf.shtml

To upgrade the BIOS to the latest version, get the download from this
page (which suggests 850 Mhz is possible):
http://usa.asus.com/download/mbdriver/slot1-440bx.htm

Search Strategy:

P3B-F site:asus.com
://www.google.com/search?q=P3B-F+site%3Aasus.com

asus P3B-F processor
://www.google.com/search?num=30&hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=asus+P3B-F+processor+


I trust this answers your question. If any portion of my answer is
unclear, please ask for clarification.

Best wishes,
