Intel PIII 450 Processor Upgrade...

I just acquired an old Dell XPS T450 with an Intel PIII processor as follows: (See pics too)

450/512/100/2.0v S1

How far can I upgrade this processor with my current moboard? This is the processor the system was originally shipped with, and I believe that this is one of the first levels of the PIII's.

an I upgrade this processor to a 600, 733, 800, or maybe a 933mhz? They are rather cheap and it may be a good way to add a bit more power rather cheaply...

Not sure what info I need to give in order for someone to tell me the limit of the motherbard...

Thanks..

-Chris

Here is the best info I could find

The 100mhz fsb is supposedly software overclockable. But don't expect to pull 133mhz.

It's on that site somewhere.
