Cpu bus speed

[rjecsn]

I am running a 400mhz m/board with a 400mhz 1.7 celeron.

Have purchased a 2.4 Pentium 4 with a 533mhz bus speed.
I am looking to replace the board but wanted to know if I could possibly use the 2.4 with this board until I find another.

Like, uh, what board do you have?

You need to find the brand name and model of your motherboard. Go to their web site and look up the m/b model. It will list what processors and bus speeds it supports.

The board only supports 400mhz,but what I was wondering is if it would run the 533mhz chip. As a board that supports 100mhz ram and it has 133mhz memory in it. Really didn't want to mention the name of the board...but it's a PC Chips. Yea, yea I need to upgrade! I'm looking!

It was not ment as a put down of your m/b or you. The manufactures website should include what types of cpu's it supports. If your m/b supports P4's, it would underclock your cpu by about 25% (400Mhz vs 533Mhz). Have no fear about mentioning manufactures here. I have a MSI Neo 2 LS m/b, Intel P4C 3.0 Gig processor, Kingston pc400 memmory, Nvidia 5900 Video card, Soundblaster Audigy 2 soundcard, thermatake case.....

Your P4a would run at 1.8 gigs. This would be much faster than your cerery. Your board may support some degree of overclocking, so you might try upping the fsb a bit. If you can tell us the model and revision, there is probably someone here who has oced that board.

I am not sure what that has to do with his problem. That aside, it has worked flawlessly for me. As a low cost ram I would recommend it to others on a tight budget. I hope your Corsair ram works as well for you all who use it.
