Can run a 1 gigger in the bx6, got one did that. Has to be good ram tho.
There is a slot one 1Ghz that will run in the BX6, and that was the
fastest slot one to come out.
You can buy one on Ebay for 20 bucks. http://tinyurl.com/6z48e3
However, the fastest thing to run in a BX6 was a Celeron 1.1GHz at
100FSB with a slot one to socket 370 adaptor card. These cards simply
rerouted the pins. It was a problem free setup. ASUS made the best
adaptor cards.
There was also a company that made a special slot one card that
worked with a Cel 1.4 or a PIII 1.4, but that was more problematic in
that the board itself wasn't designed to run with these CPUs and the
card did the translation.

my memory may be a little fussy but not kidding, this chip was in a bx6 in a
customer system with xp until the mb blew caps. check in bios and see if 133
is available. Like I said, fussy. Still have manuals and original driver
disks. Have a BH6 dual in the pile also.
I do have slot one cpu's, probably 450, 500, 600, would have to dig in the
pile. have a bunch of antique cpu's :-D saving for the gold I think. Have
some slotkets too.
Be a good box for dos and Aces of the Pacific games.
