I'm looking at getting the Abit IS7 mobo and was wondering if my CPU will only run at 533FSB (which it does now) or whther it will run at 800FSB?

If it will run at 800FSB what sort of performance difference am I likely to see, if any?

800FSB(4x200Mhz)? probably not. 150Mhz (x4=600FSB) is probably possible though, quite possibly more.

Sure! It might take liquid nitrogen, but the 800 FSB would only take it to 3.6GHz...
