    Hello, I am under the impression that my CPU speed is directly affected by my mobo's FSB speed. At the moment I have a 533FSB mobo w/ a 800FSB CPU, if I upgrade to a 800FSB mobo will I see a noticable difference? My bios makes it sound like I cannot get the full potential of my cpu (only 1.8...
