Someone gave me an old PC with an ASUSTeK MB, a P2B-LS, apparently it's
a SLOT1. I'm I want to get a new processor, something new and fast
maybe Athlon, around 2.5 G. So I'm wondering what chips are
compatible...I don't understand all the slot and socket types. Can it
be done or do I need to get a new MB altogether, or am I limited at all
in what I could get? I plan on keeping the HD with W2K on it.

First of all, it's a motherboard for Intel processors, not AMD. Second,
it's based on the Intel 440BX chipset which is too old to support the current
generation of processors. It will only support up to about 1 GHz FSB speeds.
