Hello. I have a P4 2.66ghz FSB 533mhz; a Northwood I believe. The current motherboard I have is an ASUS with the RDRAM and AGP 4x. I want to upgrade to Dual Channel DDR and AGP 8x, however I want to keep using the same CPU.
My question is that many of the AGP 8x boards are FSB 800mhz. Can I stil use my CPU on them? What do I do about DDR RAM? If the FSB 800mhz board uses DDR400, does that mean it will have to be downgraded as well? I found the perfect chipset for my upgrade, Intel 865P, but apparently that chipset was never mass produced. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
