How to learn highest processor supported? Opti GX270

Hello -- I have a motherboard (Dell part U1325) which is for a OptiPlex GX270 . There is currently no CPU on the board, I would like to put one in. Question: How to determine what is the highest processor supported if the latest BIOS notes (7-20-2006) only say "Support for latest processors"? Thank you and the specs are below. Socket 478 / 865G chipset / System clock (in manual online) 800, 533, or 400

    Are you aware of the "swollen capacitors" problem on GX-270 motherboard?

    I was not aware -- thanks for letting me know. I'll google this and check my board for this particular identifiable issue before proceeding. I won't be surprised if my board is thus afflicted. I had purchased the board along with thirteen other motherboards, a working Dimension 8100, some Dell cases, and two 22" monitors for $100. I like to tinker. Thanks again for the heads up!
