Original processor - Pentium 4, 1.6 GHz/1.7GHz 
Chipset - Intel 845, including ICH2, MCH, and AGP graphics support 

So, the FSB is 100 Mhz, to support 1600 Mhz and 1700 Mhz CPUs.

is the fastest single-core system with 100 FSB, that fits into your "Socket 478" motherboard.

The original processor is Celeron, not Pentium.  I currently have a 2.7 Gz Celeron processor on this motherboard.  I was wondering if there is a faster processor that can be used.

Weird. The HP Support page that I viewed listed what I stated.

There probably is -- 3.0 Ghz -- about 10% faster.  Would you notice that "bump-up" ???

Probably not.  Thanks.
