Can an Intel P4 800 MHz FSB CPU be used in a 533 MHz FSB mobo if both are Socket 478 ?
Background.
I have a Gigabyte GA-8INXP mobo with a P4 2.4B GHz. I want to upgrade to a 3+ GHz CPU. I'd always intended upgrading to the 3.06B GHz CPU (533 MHz FSB) but on checking prices today for the first time in a few months I see that the 3.06 is about $60 more than the 3.2 GHz (800 MHz FSB).
