Warning

 

This motherboard is carefully designed with Intel spec. to fully support Pentium processor with MMX  up 

to 233Mhz . Since Intel is not shiping the  new Pentium procesoor with MMX with 233Mhz at the time that 

we deliver this motherboard so we hold the responsibility on if Intel change any spec. that cause the new 

processor not function properly in this motherboard.
