I can't say if it'll do that. My mobo won't, it doesn't support FSB's higher than 166. I think you should give us some more info on your board .

I've built 2 systems with the ecs k7s5a. Your board won't run with any barton or sempron cpu. Your best choice is the xp2400. The 2600 in 266 is rare, and not worth the extra price premium.

where can i get the xp2400 266 mhz FSB i can't find it in newegg.com i can only find 333mhz FSb CPU please help me
thank you

is 333 mhz FSB cpu to high for my motherboard to hand?

Just spend another 38 bucks when buying a new CPU of your choice: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813157072
I did that on my parents machine and it was really worthwhile. This Asrock KT400 board does just fine and is cheap! With this you can also run Semprons which are easier to find and get a better deal on.
