I850E chipsets and what they can handle

I have an Asus p4t533 which supports Rambus 1066, and has overclocking potential up to 200 mhz fsb. I was wondering if it would work for me to stick a processor with 200 mhz fsb and Hyperthreading support, (my motherboard supports Ht) and work succesfully.

I figured since the motherboard supported up to 200mhz fsb that it would support the new proccessor line, but this is kinds hypothetical. Can someone please help me out with this and tell me if it's possible? thanks
 
You may be thinking along the right lines... but there are a couple of things that will stop you from using one of the newer cpus.

1) officially the i850 was never designed to run with a fsb of 200, even tho you can select it in the bios. There could be stability factors and i dont think the board as the proper divider to keep the agp/pci slots in there proper spec(66/33)

2) it also may need a bios update to properly reconize the cpus. Untill asus release an update i would have to say no to your question of running the new 200fsb(800 effective) cpus
