Which is The maximum processor I can put on this board and which cooler is
best to put on that processor??
Thanks
The highest *performance* possible on a P2B-S rev. 1.04 is obtained by
running a 1.4Ghz PIII-S 512K @ 1.575Ghz (150Mhz FSB) - I have one, and
performance is excellent, but it's not exactly an easy or economical
upgrade.
A motherboard modification is required to enable FSB settings above
133Mhz (and to avoid seriously overclocking the PCI bus at 133Mhz),
PIII-S processors are not cheap, nor is PC150 SDRAM.
On a price/performance basis, a 1.0 or 1.1Ghz Tualatin Celeron
overclocked to 133Mhz FSB on an Upgradeware Slot-T adapter is a good
choice - if the existing SDRAM is PC133 and the video card can handle an
89Mhz AGP bus. Motherboard modification may still be required if the PCI
devices object to 44.3Mhz.
The fastest guaranteed plug-n-play upgrade is to a 1.4Ghz Tualatin
Celeron on a Slot-T adapter, which may overclock to 1.57Ghz using 112Mhz
FSB.
The modification mentioned above is detailed here:

The Intel retail cooler is perfectly adequate for all the above upgrades.
