It's maybe possible the board will support it, although as an overclocked setting. Specify exactly which mobo and someone might be able to tell you.

The board is an 845GL and Im looking at upgrade options for the processor.
If i were to buy a 533mhz FSB P4 processor and not overclock the board, what speed would it run at? E.g. if the processor was 2.6ghz, for example.

It would run @ ~2Ghz.
you'd get 75% rated speed.
if you put a 800FSB chip in you'd get 50% rated speed.

what make is the motherboard? if it's actually an Intel mobo then you'll not have much joy with overclocking anyway (Intel build good quality boards, but they won't support people pushing them beyond their own specs happily... They just don't really give OC options even though the components can probably handle it, IIRC)

well... if you put a 3.06Ghz in there you'd get 2.3Ghz ..
there is a 400FSB 2.4Ghz P4 I believe, so you could get that one.
Why do you need to upgrade? It's just buying another 400FSB chip will mean buying yet another new processor if you upgrade again later on, whereas getting a new mobo now means you could get stuff like dual channel RAM & 800FSB, and be able to support the first couple of prescott chips when they arrive.

Yup, there's a 3.06Ghz, 533FSB P4 chip. its the only non-800 bus P4 with hyperthreading IIRC.
What do you want the extra perf. for? if it's gaming you'd be better off spending the $$$ on a better Gfx card.
Apart from that it'll probably give a reasonable speed boost in quite a few apps. Especially if that 1.7 is a celeron. (can't remember if they made a 1.7 P4? definitely a 1.6 & a 1.8, but don't recall a 1.7)

Yep its a celeron. I dont think I would get hyperthreading support because doesnt the board have to support that too, and I bet mine doesnt.
The machine is used for application and games development, programming and 3d model building, as well as regular tasks like surfing the net

Over a celeron, you'll get MUCH more raw processing power with the 2.2P4. probably nearer 45% than 33%. the P4 based celerons are not held in very high regard.
Stuff like compiling and 3d rendering will get a good boost from that upgrade. I'd only advise against it if you think you'll upgrade again within 6 months or something, for the reasons I outlined above somewhere. If you've got the cash, you may as well go ahead.

There are P4 2.6GHz processors with "400MHz" bus, they are a bit harder to find than the 533 or 800 versions, but they do exist.
