Tae, go to abit.com.tw and make sure you have the most recent bios installed. All Abit BX MB's can use the PIII. Don't be worried if the 700 is not specifically listed, it will work. Just make sure you get the slot 1 version. Here's a clip from the site: "Since there are two different key versions (One is the version 1.0x series, the other one is the version 1.1 and newer series) it's very important to know how to recognize which mainboard version you have before upgrading your board's BIOS. How can you tell? There are two ways. The first way: You may find the version number on the white sticker of last ISA slot side and see a string of characters like "BH6-OK V1.XX". The second way: You may read the last two words on the bottom right of the first boot-up screen (Energy Star Logo) to recognize what the BIOS id. number you have, then you will know which one you have to download and upgrade for your board."
