Hi, I was wondering if anyone know if it is possible to run the Q9300 333MHz on my Kontron KT965/Flex motherboard, it uses the Q965 chipset and supports 266MHz FSB and 800MHz DDR2 Memory. Any advice would be most appreciated!

Thx!
Christian.

Look for updated bios support. Otherwise you could try and figure out something like the reverse of a standard BSEL Mod to get the chip recognized as 266 native. Does your Mobo Overclock to 333 stable? If so only bios is really going to hold you back.
