Different FSB

[ding5550123]

I was shopping at a local computer store's website and i found a motherboard (Here)

It has a 800 or 1066 MHz FSB.

However, they only have one processer that has a 800MHz FSB, but it's $250
All the other processers have a 533MHz FSB.


I was wondering if they were compatible.

It will support lower FSB speeds, but not higher ones. Any of the Socket 775 chips on that site should be fine. Do note that Newegg's prices are quite a lot cheaper.

My parents refuse to buy from newegg for some reason or another.

Also i'd rather buy from a local company because I can view the parts in the store and ask questions

I only mention it because some of their prices are a good $100 high, which is quite a premium. Particularly since Pentium 4s and Pentium Ds are not spectacular value at Newegg's prices (or ZipZoomFly, etc.).
