I have an MSI MS-6533 MB with an Intel P4 478 pin socket. The specs say the fastest CPU it will handle is a P4 2.6 GHz. Will the board handle a faster CPU, say 3.2 GHz? My concern is the specs only reflect the CPU's available when to board was made. The specs on the P4 CPU's available now are Intel Pentium 4 2.6 to 3.2 GHz but all have 800MHz. I think the CPU on board now is an 800 MHz

Just discovered the fastest CPU this board will take is RK80532PC072512 2.8 GHz Northwood, FSB400, L2 Cache 512KB. Didn't know MSI listed MB's and the CPU's they will handle.
