Can an Intel HT chip be run on a non HT board?

[FelixDeCat]

I have an epox 4g4a and would like to switch out my 1.6a with a 2.6c. Possible?

HT will not work on a non-HT board

But the CPU will, just not in HT mode.

That epox 4g4a won't run the 2.6c at full speed. It may post at (13 x 133 fsb) about 1633, instead of 2600.

Epox states the max Northwood CPU support for the 4G4A is P4 2.53GHz (533MHz). I don't know why it wouldn't support 2.6GHz as well, unless EPOX just didn't test some discontinued boards with higher CPUs.

But yeah, max FSB is 533MHz.
