FSB / CPU to Mobo

[jumpnice]

Providing that everything else matches [eg; socket type] can a CPU with a FSB of 2000MHz work on a Mobo with a 2600MHz FSB?

are you talking intel or amd?

Intel is Quad pumed so here is a Exp.

Socket 775 200FSB x4 =800
Socket 775 266FSB x4 =1066
Socket 775 333FSB x4 = 1333
Socket 775 400FSB x4 = 1600

i dont know how amds HT works right off hand. i have been playing with more intel systems then amd's. and no i am not a fanboy

Thx for your reply, I am on a learning curve so I might not always ask the correct question or give the right amout of data. I am talking about AMD socket AM2/AM2+ mobo's and I'm trying to learn about matching components to build my first PC. I do not understand the defintion of "fanboy".

truth be told i just say because i am not. i dont know the total meaning of it. but i know people like calling each other fanboys.

i know if your mobo has a 2600HT bus. and your cpu has a 2000HT bus. then i would image it would work.

here is a wiki website for the Amd HT

if you need more info am sure i can find it on google

An AM2+ socket supports both AM2 and AM2+ CPUs. And the AM2 socket will also run AM2+ CPUs (but at lower HT speed and providing BIOS is up to date).

Thank you for the reply, my learning curve is not as steep as it was but I'm sure to post again
