The generic version of my question is, 'can I use a dual channel
processor (800 MHz FSB) on a non-dual channel motherboard'?
My specifics are:
I already have two computers (Shuttle SB75S) using a socket 478 Intel
P4 2.8GHz, 800MHz FSB, Hyperthreading Northwood, SL6WT in a dual
channel configuration.
(http://processorfinder.intel.com/scripts/details.asp?sSpec=SL6WT).
I want to buy a Soyo SY-P4I 845PE ISA motherboard
(http://www.soyogroup.com/products/proddesc.php?id=194) because I need
a modern machine and I have some legacy ISA cards.
I would like to use the same processor in all machines so one can
donate in case of disaster. Will a SL6WT work in this Soyo?
I realize I won't get dual channel performance. In fact, I have a
333MHz/PC2700, 512M stick from its dead predecessor. I plan to use
that single stick.
Or to ask another way, can the fancy processor dumb itself down to run
in this board?
Thanks.
