Hi. I am looking to upgrade this machine's processor, which is currently a P4 2.80GHz/512/533. Obviously I want to increase performance by an appreciable amount, however the higher specification chips operate at 800MHz FSB, whereas the motherboard is 533MHz. My question is 'Are cpu's backward-compatible in terms of FSB speed'? Many thanks, John.
