if so what speed would you recomend?
Either way, you need to realize that the default FSB speed for the BH6 is 100MHz. 100MHz based PIII are the ones without the B designator (or is it E?). If you get one of the B designated CPUs, it will not run at its designated speed, since the multiplier is based on a 133MHz FSB. Go with the fastest CPU you can afford, preferrably a PIII. You can try to overclock the FSB in order to run a PIII EB at the proper speed (or faster). I would suggest not going with the Celeron, simply because of the 66MHz FSB. Sapasion and others, however, have had great success overclocking Celerons. Don't make any decisions 'til you get a few more responses.

Bring me my burning bow of code. Bring me my flaming arrows of design.
Indeed, almost every celeron between 533a and 633 is capable of running on the 100Mhz FSB and giving you a very nice little [or not so little] OC. My celeron rides a 115FSB and runs at 920Mhz, thus gives me performance better than a P3 750. Otherwise you could get something like a P3 700. Your mobo does go as high as 133FSB, whether that would be a stable speed is questionable.

Guilt is for the weak
Agree that Celeron is best and cheap good OC CPU, go with Celeron!!
