What is the fastest AMD processor I can get?

[coastymad]

I have an ancient motherboard and was wondering what the fastest AMD Athlon XP processor I can get with a FSB 266 and roughly what price it would be preferably in £. Thanks.

Athlon XP 2600+, Thoroughbred core, 2133 MHz.

I guess a mobile athlon xp mobile 3000+ would be fastest.

I guess you'll have to find one in a store you can buy from, I'd guess it'd be about 70 pounds, but that's a guess.

Yes, I'd go for mobile CPUs too, but it can't be taken for granted that they'll work with desktop boards, especially old ones.

It is a Socket A mother board if that changes anything.

According to your mobo manual your current cpu is the fastest it will support.

I have checked for bios updates and the last one released was for the Duron1800+.

So maybe you need to get a new mobo and processor.
