Thanks for the info. One slight problem.....
Where the #%&^ does one find this info on the Intel website?
I just spent the past hour on there. (www.intel.com) After clicking on
processors and selecting my language about 10 times I never found
anything except their latest processors.
Five clicks in the Intel website to here:
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/jn440bx/sb/cs-013425.htm
This should give you all the information you need on the JN440BX
motherboard and the Intel Pentium III CPU's that it supports. Be sure
to read and understand the note pertaining to the Board Revision number.

By the way, instead of getting the Asus P3B-F mobo, what if I were to
get the ASUS P3V4X Apollo Pro 133A PENTIUM 3 Slot 1 Mobo? Will my P3
700mhz coppermine CPU work on that board? I found one of them for
sale. The seller dont know if it has the i440BX chipset. (he dont
seem to know much about computer hardware at all). This appears to be
a similar board but a little newer.
The answer is no. The 700 MHz CPU will be over-clocked to 931 MHz and
be destroyed. This is due to the FSB being set to run at 133 MHz. But
if there is an option to re-set the FSB to 100 MHz, then it might be
OK.
If these mobos were so good, how come they dont make them anymore?
I have heard they were excellent, which is why I want one, and I
suppose thats why they are hard to find. I keep finding the Asus
P3B-F, but all of them are rev. 1.03. The rev 1.04 dont seem to even
exist.
Planned obsolesence. The Pentium-III Slot-1 CPU was introduced about
8 or 9 years ago. They were replaced by Socket-370 Pentium-III CPU's.
And then came the Pentium 4's along with Socket-478 and LGA 775, etc.
All of the Coppermine P3 motherboards are equipped with the 1.65 V
voltage regulator (whereas their predecessors were not) and this is what
makes them scarce. The Coppermine P3's are still pretty much in use in
many places, as the Slot-1's can run up to 1 GHz or so. More importantly,
these motherboards could support ISA peripherals along with PCI whereas
the P4 and newer boards went totally PCI and its variations. We went, for
example, from PIII-800 MHz CPU's to P4 3.0 HT CPU's and then to Pentium-D
950's at 3.4 MHz. And this is hopscotching from Coppermines to Northwoods
to the Preslers while skipping the Tualatins and Prescotts.
I also found a ASUS P3C2000 Series Motherboard with a Pentium 3 Processor (667 Mhz) Installed on it. I guess for the
difference of 33mhz I could live with that too. I dont understand why
they even make processors with such odd MHZ numbers.....
It is not the 33 MHz that is the issue but the FSB of 133 MHz. This
700 MHz CPU is designed to work with a FSB of 100 MHz. See above.
