FSB Question

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 worth out of 2.4 at the moment) if I do not have both the cpu and mobo at 800 FSB, is this correct?

Stats:

- Intel 2.4 800FSB Northwood CPU
- Asus p4s8x-x 533FSB mobo
- 1 gig Corsair XMS
- nVidia 128mb 6800
- yadda yadda

Thanks in advance.
 
Yes. Look for a refurb 865pe board if you can't afford new at places like newegg or chiefvalue. I was able to overclock a 2.8c at 250 fsb (3500) on an msi 865 board.
 
Hello....

I'm asking a question here. Answer the question:

If I get a 800mhz FSB mobo, will it feel like I am upgrading from a 1.8 cpu to a 2.4?

Thanks.
