hi there, i am a little confuse about this FSB things.

Are all 1333mhz motherboards (any brand) supports all 1333mhz procie, specially intel?? coz i had a Mobo here ECS 94GCT M2/1333mhz, but base on the manual it only supports up to core 2 duo E8600. I wonder if is it ok to use core 2 quad procie running 1066mhz or 1333mhz on my board?? and is it overclocking when i use that kind of procie??

Perhaps you meant 945GCT-M2/1333 (V1.0A) ?

The 945GCT-M2/1333 contains the Intel 945GC chipset. And no, Quad core is not supported. See the supported CPU list here http://ark.intel.com/chipset.aspx?familyID=28994&code=Intel%C2%AE+945GC+Express+Chipset
