I was able to find this....

CPU Support

* Intel Pentium D Dual Core Technology
* Intel® Pentium® Hyper-Threading Technology (HT Technology) with FMB Performance 2005 support
* Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in an LGA775 socket with an 800 MHz system bus, 2.8Ghz to 3.8 GHz or higher
* Intel® Celeron® (D) processor in an LGA775 socket with a 533 MHz system bus, 2.8 GHz or higher

(just do a Google)

It does suggest that you will be limited to a P4

It seem that it is a Packard Bell Rio motherboard - possibly made by Gigabyte..???

3.8ghz p4 would be your highest then.

But it will take a Pentium D according to the info posted by Vimes so a 945 (2 x 3.4GHz) should work. Make sure your cooling is as good as it can be as I expect a 945 will get toasty.....

 

[krisbutler]

it already has a pentium D 2.8ghz proccesor so yes it can take pentium D so the highest would be a 945 then ?

its a pentium d 820 (smithfield) 90nm according 2 cpuz
