700e work with my mobo?

[potac]

Right now I o/ced my proc using softfsb because I do not have anything in the bios or on the mobo to let me do it. I was told I could get a 700e and I wouldn't even have to change any settings.
Would this work?

Provided the 700 is willing to get up and go at 933... yes

Get the FCPGA version and a slotket that lets you adjust voltage. I don't think the Tyan board itself allows voltage tweaks.

Maybe I misunderstood your question, but check these sites for your specific mobo and check the specs and look for new BIOS. http://www.tyan.com/products/html/fam_trinity.html

Are you sure there's no FSB adjustment whatsoever on the board.

I got someone to buy my mobo and processor from me so now I am looking at new mobos and a processor to go with it. Right now I am leaning towards the 700e (unless you can recommend something better) so now I need some info what would be the best mobo to get for it. I want a FCPGA instead of a slot1, right?

The FC-PGA form is more versatile - it works in either Slot 1 or Socket 370 with an adapter.
