Can these boards run a 533Mhz CPu and still take advantage of the dual channel DDR400? Is it necessary that I upgrade my CPU to an 800Mhz FSB version at the same time?
What I have is this...
845PE with 2 sticks Corsair XMS3200 512MB (1GB total)
2.26Ghz Northwood that clocke up to 2,6 easily enough and that's where I keep it.
Since the CPU runs 533Mhz FSb I know it won't do 3.4 Ghz that would be required to get to 800Mhz FSB. Can I run 533Mhz FSb and the memory still dual DDR400?
I'm really looking at the Abit IC7-G even though it's a pricey mobo I think I can sell my current mobo and defray some of the cost.
