Is it true that Intel 845PE chipset can support 800FSB?

I am just wondering since I got the Gigabyte GA-8PE667 Ultra. Anyone knows? It seems like all the new 875P is having trouble.
Thanks.
 
No it cannot.
Individual motherboards may be able to overclock to the 800MHz FSB potentially, but it is not offiucially supported and you've no guarantees that it will operate properly at such speeds.

The I865 is coming on the 21'st though, which does support the 800MHz FSB.
 
I875 adds PAT- Performance Acceleration Technology, intended to slightly decrease DRAM latency with 800MHz FSB operation.
I875 adds support for ECC DRAM.

That's it... well besides the fact that I875 looks to be vastly more expensive then the I865 will be.

There is an Asus official bios upgrade for the P4PE (i845) supporting 800 fsb. So it seems that the answer to your question is yes, if your mobo maker upgrades the bios.

 
So the Asus would. I got to check. Maybe I should buy this board.
It's more stable. How are the board with SIS 655 chipsets?
Thanks.
 
Gigabyte is supporting 800MHz FSB on the 845PE chipset through a minor revision of the board you have and calling it the GA-8PE800. Abit is also supporting this on the BH-7. Other 845PE support is hit or miss based on the quality of the individual board and the rest of your components. Your board "might" work, but there are no guarantees.
