Gateway 450 ROG / RGH

[pvcady001]

I have a wonderful 450 ROG that I've had for awhile now, Gateway actually built it for me back in '04, I've had to replace my motherboard 3 times due to the GPU burning out, (bad design I guess) So now I have decided to replaced it with the RGH motherboard. (it's a direct replacement) (bigger video chip) but here are my questions..

The Specifications for the board state 400MHz thru 800MHz FSB, my cpu has a 533MHz FSB but the memory is only PC2700 @ 333MHz???

1. How can I make it use DDR2 memory to achieve the 533MHz FSB equal to the cpu?
2. What cpu do I need to use to achieve the 800MHz FSB speed?
3. What type of memory do I need to use to achieve the 800MHz FSB speed

also as a side note, I replaced the OEM CPU

high end CPU and it works 100% better.

hi, I red your comments about the replacement and I would like to know your experience about it. Also, what do you do with the Heatsink of the "new" Gateway RGH motherboard, becasues I saw in the web that it is different from the ROG model. Thank you
