the e4500 is a good hunk faster vs the 4800 @ 2.75... but the 4800 combo may take a phenon, but this 645 chipset board with the 4500 won't run a quad, it looks like...

yup on the 945gct-m... what cpu? it seems to have a problem identifying the e4500 m0, and puts out a message when booting about "this is a 200 mhz fsb processor..." even after updating the bios to supposedly fix that (11/7/7)...
in the frequency panel you have to enable autodetect fsb (seems odd) and then set the fsb oc...
will your cpu do 266 with the bsel mod?

I purchased a different combo, the same motherboard but with the Celeron 430. When I set the FSB to 233, it comes up fine, and cpu-z shows 9 x 200, no overclock. If I set the FSB to 266, the board will not boot, and I have to clear CMOS. I performed the BSEL mod on the cpu, which gives me the message from the bios about "this is a 200 mhz....". But it does boot, and it is running 266 mhz FSB (9 x 266 according to cpu-z). I ran across someone else over in the motherboards forum (or was it overclocking?) who said his 945GCT-M ignored the FSB setting in the CMOS, so I was curious that yours appeared to be working.
