P4 FSB Question...

[nfamous]

I just purchased an Asus board from ebay that has the 845pe chipset, which uses the 533mhz FSB (not everything I want, but can't go wrong for $15). I want to purchase an 800mhz P4 (to go in a board in the future...), and I was wondering what performance penalties I'm going to suffer, other than the FSB difference.

Thanks!

I would have to say, it won't even boot up with an 800mhz FSB chip in a 533mhz FSB motherboard. I would strongly advise against it, there is a good chance it will kill your motherboard. I tried running a 533mhz FSB proccessor on a 400mhz fsb motherboard, and the motherboard died..
