Howdy,
In most instances, that particular board supports "flip-chip" CPUs and their needed voltages. However, there seems to be a rev of that board that DOES NOT.
Make sure that you find the rev of the board and explore the BIOS update options.
I primarily use ASUS but have used ABIT boards. While the ABIT is a fine board, I liked the old school jumpers on the ASUS P2B-P2B/F system boards.
I'd like to explore the BX-133 board but havn't as yet. Rumors suggest that this board will support anything in the Cel-mine/PIII class but this is conjecture.
