    Here is the page with all the specs

    http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/socketa/a7v8x-x/overview.htm

    Personally by the looks of it I would upgrade the board and the cpu. The board only has a dsb of 333 mhz. Hell I just bought a epox board over at newegg for 88.00 that has 1000 fsb and can handle all the latest amd chips. Plus has some nice tools that come with it, like automatic bios upgrade through windows...not dos.

    To answer your question. It can handle pc 3200 memory. I dont know bout cpu, but here is a page with the users manual and all drivers and bios.

    By the looks of it...it only goes up to 2500+ barton by the book. Not multiple support. I could be wrong, but that what I skimmed.

    So your best bet is go over to www.newegg.com and replace the mobo...

    Newegg is great. I had them rush and overnite a order. It came from calif to pa and it was here 3:00 pm. good luck :>
