Hi friends , I want to known about the MAXIMUM specs like processor type and speed ,size of rams ,agp support etc by Asus P5B-MX/WIFI-AP.

Can it's bios be updated or is no longer supported?

What will be suitable alternative to the board if one want's a motherboard within the same prize but higher future compatibility.

u can use an E6600, or any other 1066Mhz FSB processor, it will support. (not sure about quad-core, maybe it does not support quad core)

667Mhz 4Gb memory

PCI-Express

I dont think asus will be releasing anymore BIOS for the board, so it is what it is.

Then it does, but mind it, it will not support 1333FSB, don't think that if u put in a 1333FSB processor it will run it at 1066FSB, the board DOES NOT even boot.
(I don't know if the new BIOS allows it, so u're gonna have to check that)
