New 850E motherboard questions

[LawrenceTalbot]

I'm looking to build a system with the new 533mhz fsb, more than likely I will buy an ASUS motherboard and use 1066 rdram if reasonably priced. My only problem is I'm not willing to pay over $500 for a 533fsb cpu and will wait for the price to drop. So my question is while I'm waiting will a pentium 1.8A work on the 533 motherboards coupled with the 1066 rdram? Also, when will we start to see these items being sold and any estimate of their cost? Thanks

Non-533MHz FSB processors are fully compatible with the i850E and i845E chipsets.
