What CPU's can work with this board, Rise R-625?
I am wondering what the fastest CPU could be installed in this unit, without overclocking. It's the Rise R-625, as listed here:

The manual for the board is here:
<a href="http://www.rise.com.tw/jumpup/r625.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.rise.com.tw/jumpup/r625.pdf</a>
It's currently running with a Celeron 300A, and the manual says it's designed to work with Intel Pentium II's with 66MHz bus. The motherboard has a Slot 1 connection. The manual lists the following jumper settings:
CPU Type Selector -
3.5X, 4.0X, 4.5X, 5.0X
Bus Clock Selector -
66, 75, 83
Bus Ratio Select -
3.0x, 3.5x, 4.0x, 4.5x, 5.0x, 5.5x, 6.0x, 6.5x, 7.0x, 7.5x, 8.0x.
Actually, I believe the "CPU Type Selector" is exactly the same switch as the "Bus Ratio Select", so I'm assuming you could go with a much faster CPU. Am I correct? Anyone know what Intel CPU's can be used in this unit? What's the fastest you could push this? Is there any possibility of using a PPGA chip in an adapter with this board? Would there be any advantage to that?
