The only P3 available now maybe still compatible with your P3B-F is probably the 1 GHz one, Socket370. NOT the newer Tualatin versions.

The problem is that the 1 GHz P3 is a 133 MHz FSB CPU and the P3B mobo only supports the 100 MHz FSB...

You'll need a "Slotcket" converter to use it in a Slot1 motherboard, but be carefull and verify the specs to see if your mobo+slotcket combo can handle the 1 GHz CPU... you'll probably need to overclock the FSB... no warranties.

Or... you could try a Celeron CPU... these are still 100 MHz FSB CPUs.
